Practice Areas

Stephen Hofmeyr KC is a leading commercial barrister with a wide-ranging international commercial law practice.

With a strong sectoral focus across a wide range of practice areas, Stephen’s expertise in commercial law ranges from complex commercial disputes (aviation, energy, insurance/reinsurance, shipping, banking), to related company law claims, including shareholder disputes and claims against directors. His relatively unique combination of legal and accounting qualifications has equipped him to specialise in all aspects of commercial law and make him particularly suited to complex disputes.

The breadth and nature of his practice is reflected in the fact the he appeared twice in the Supreme Court in late 2023 – in Herculatio Maritime v Gunvor (MV POLAR) and Argentum Exploration Ltd v Silver – and is due to appear in the Privy Council in 2025 on an appeal from Mauritius. He is also involved in dealing with, amongst other matters, more than 80 aviation insurance claims arising out of the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, a US based insurance claim following the destruction by fire of 5 Monet paintings, a London based arbitration concerning the safety of an international container terminal. He also continues to advise on on-going Business Interruption, Bermuda Form and M&A insurance claims.
