Partner, Stafford Rosenbaum LLP
Attorney Colin T. Roth is a partner in the Madison office of Stafford Rosenbaum LLP. His practice focuses on commercial litigation, appellate law, and election and political law. He litigates in both state and federal courts at both the trial and appellate levels, frequently in areas like voting rights, administrative rulemaking, constitutional challenges to state law, state taxation, environmental protection, and civil rights.
Colin has litigated some of the highest profile cases in recent memory before the Wisconsin Supreme Court. He handled briefing and oral argument in challenges to the Governor’s partial veto power (in Bartlett v. Evers and Wisconsin Small Business United, Inc. v. Brennan), the executive branch’s pandemic response powers (in Wisconsin Legislature v. Palm), and the 2020 general election recount (in Trump v. Biden). He has also litigated many appeals before the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals and the Wisconsin Court of Appeals. Colin serves as co-chair of the firm’s appellate practice team with Attorney Jeff Mandell.
Colin also maintains an active commercial litigation practice at the trial court level. He has expertise representing clients in matters involving the Wisconsin Fair Dealership Law, breach of contract, securities fraud, trademark infringement, and defamation, among many other areas.
Colin also has substantial experience advising clients on state regulatory matters, having worked closely with state officials in the Governor’s office, the Department of Administration, the University of Wisconsin System, the Department of Revenue, and the Department of Natural Resources to answer complicated legal questions and map the path forward for complex regulatory programs.
Prior to joining Stafford Rosenbaum, Colin spent five years at the Wisconsin Department of Justice as an assistant attorney general, handling the state’s most important trial and appellate civil litigation and, before that, four years as an associate at Irell & Manella, a prominent law firm in Los Angeles.
Colin is admitted to practice in Wisconsin, the U.S. District Courts for the Eastern and Western District of Wisconsin, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit.
Partner, Eimer Stahl LLP
Ryan is a partner at Eimer Stahl LLP and is based in the firm’s Madison office. He focuses his practice on appellate and complex litigation in a wide variety of areas, including antitrust, constitutional law, corporate law, environmental, ERISA, products liability, and white collar. As part of his practice, Ryan devotes significant time to matters of legal strategy and the art of written and oral advocacy.
Ryan previously served as Chief Deputy Solicitor General of Wisconsin, securing numerous wins in the Supreme Court of the United States, in three federal courts of appeal, and in the state supreme court. Ryan built national, bipartisan coalitions of attorneys general and agencies in support of several lawsuits and briefing efforts, including a Wisconsin-led, 12-state coalition whose suit against the Federal Communications Commission prompted that agency to reverse a major new rule. When he left government, Ryan had a perfect win record in all of his cases to have reached final judgment.
Earlier in his career, Ryan worked in Washington D.C. as an associate in the appellate group of one of the world’s largest law firms.
Ryan also served as a law clerk on the U.S. Supreme Court for the Honorable Antonin Scalia and on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit for the Honorable Diarmuid F. O’Scannlain.
Ryan was named to Forbes’ “30 Under 30: Law and Policy” list in 2017. His briefing has won awards from the National Association of Attorneys General and the International Municipal Lawyers Association. He has also won a “best brief” accolade from the State Bar of Wisconsin in the civil category for his written work defending Wisconsin’s right-to-work law.
