Stephen Doherty earns plaudits for his deep arbitration expertise. He is a considered a go-to junior for disputes concerning Middle Eastern parties. He has acted, often as sole counsel, for clients in DIAC, ADCCAC and DIFC-LCIA arbitrations, in addition to ICC and LCIA proceedings. His areas of particular strength include financial services, construction and infrastructure projects, and general commercial litigation, including arbitration-related challenges and appeals.

Commercial Dispute Resolution - London (Bar)

Band 6

Strengths

Stephen Doherty is very easy to work with and very commercial. I find him to be excellent – he matches and often surpasses the KCs he works with.

Stephen Doherty is an excellent advocate who has committed to the DIFC region. His cross-examination is something to behold – he dominates.

In every aspect, Stephen has provided us with an advantage over our opponent, from availability and comprehension of the key legal turning points to case preparation and delivery at trial.
