I qualified in 1990 and, after partnership in a major West End firm of solicitors, formed Lawrence Stephens with Steven Bernstein and Stephen Messias in 1997.
I am a Solicitor Advocate and am qualified to appear in all UK courts. I have a wide range of expertise in commercial litigation and dispute resolution, acting for a diverse range of clients including high profile entrepreneurs, international clients in the fields of sport and entertainment and their agents, company directors, shareholders and corporate entities of all sizes.
I am recommended in the 2024 edition of the Spear’s 500 guide in their corporate, litigation and dispute resolution section.
Examples of my areas of practice include:
I have acted as an accredited supervisor within the Legal Services Commission Specialist Fraud Panel and am a former member of the VHCC Appeals Panel.
I have two children and live in London and Kent. My non-legal interests include skiing, hiking, sailing, cookery and art.
