Matthew D. Stromberg

Matt Stromberg is a partner and vice chair of the litigation and employment practice group in Foulston’s Kansas City office. His practice focuses mainly on business litigation and protecting creditors’ rights in Missouri and Kansas. Matt represents a wide variety of clients in litigation, ranging from single-member limited liability companies to Fortune 500 companies, and government entities including cities and counties. He was selected by his peers for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America^® in the area of Commercial Litigation, 2021.

In his business litigation practice, Matt helps clients resolve disputes involving contracts, property rights, negligence, fraud and consumer protection, zoning, and other general business issues. He counsels his clients on a broad range of litigation issues, often helping his clients find practical solutions to complex problems. Given the increase of electronic discovery in litigation, Matt advises clients on strategies for preserving, gathering, organizing, and reviewing electronic data in a cost-effective manner so that the cost of litigation is proportional to the size of the claims involved.

In his creditors’ rights practice, Matt assists his clients on a wide variety of matters, including garnishments, foreclosures, redemptions, and protecting claims during the bankruptcy process. He provides his clients with both legal and practical advice to help them protect their financial interests now and in the future.
