Chad S.C. Stover

Chad Stover is a first-chair trial attorney with a knack for making complex cases understandable to juries, judges, and clients. While Chad’s practice is national in scope, many of his cases are before Delaware’s federal and state courts. He has represented clients in over 200 cases in courts and tribunals across the country.

Over the course of his career, Chad has successfully resolved litigation involving millions to hundreds of millions of dollars in all three of Delaware’s top courts – the District of Delaware, the Court of Chancery, and Delaware Superior Court. A recent trial win includes a $31 million jury verdict in a hotly contested patent infringement and trade secrets case.

As a special discovery master in the District of Delaware, Chad holds hearings and writes opinions on issues ranging from motions to strike new infringement and invalidity theories to complex attorney-client privilege disputes.

Chad prioritizes service to others, handling pro bono cases for those in need. And because of his work representing a mentally ill prisoner in an Eighth Amendment case, he was awarded the 2021 Christopher W. White Distinguished Service Award by the Delaware Bar Association.
