Stephen has been a partner since 1986. He specialises in international trade. His clients include trading companies, banks, carriers and insurers.
Although Stephen handles high value commercial litigation and arbitration in the UK and in many other jurisdictions, a large part of his work involves giving advice on how to avoid disputes and how to resolve them quickly once problems occur.
He lectures regularly on trade and insurance issues for the International Chamber of Commerce and the International Energy Credit Association.
Stephen is a visiting fellow of the Centre for Commercial Law Studies, Queen Mary College, and University of London.
