About Stephani J. Roundy
Stephani J. Roundy Knights is an associate who combines legal training with an earlier grounding in business studies. She earned her Juris Doctor from The George Washington University Law School in 2005 after completing a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration at the University of New Hampshire in 2002. Those two degrees frame much of her approach: technical legal training alongside an understanding of organizational and commercial concerns.
Her academic path is straightforward. At the University of New Hampshire she studied business administration, a program that introduced basics of management, finance and organizational behavior. Three years later she completed her law degree at The George Washington University Law School. The law school experience added the procedural, analytical and writing skills required for courtroom preparation and transactional work alike.
Since earning her J.D., Knights has worked in private practice and now holds the title of associate. Her practice has involved the routine responsibilities that come with that role: researching legal questions, preparing briefs and memoranda, drafting agreements and motions, and assisting in client meetings. Colleagues describe her work as methodical and thorough; clients have relied on her for careful preparation and substantive support on a range of matters.
Her business background informs how she frames legal problems. She tends to view disputes and transactions through a practical lens, asking how legal options will affect budgets, timelines and organizational goals. That perspective is useful whether she is preparing a contract, assembling discovery, or briefing a factual issue. It also helps when translating complex legal points into plain language for clients who prefer concise, direct advice.
Knights’s courtroom and transactional experience has deepened over the years. She has handled document preparation and case development and taken responsibility for many of the behind-the-scenes tasks that keep matters moving. Her role often places her at the center of document-intensive work and client communications, where attention to detail matters.
As of 2026 she practices as an associate, concentrating her work on matters that bring together legal and business considerations.
