Stephen has been in practice at Brick Court Chambers since 1978. He stopped practising as a barrister and KC in 2002 and since then has worked full time as a Commercial Mediator. By January 2019 he had mediated nearly 1500 cases of nearly every legal type from both public and private sectors. Most of these disputes have involved seven or eight figure sums; but Stephen regularly mediates larger cases where hundreds of millions and occasionally billions are at stake. He practises mainly in London, but mediates regularly in other parts of the UK and Ireland and in many jurisdictions abroad. For many years he has been rated as one of the leading mediators in the UK. In 2017 he featured in a new list, Who’s Who Legal “Thought Leaders: Mediation” as one of only five in Europe and 16 in the world. Stephen is increasingly active as a mediator of community and faith-based disputes. He is currently involved in projects that aim to train a new generation of peacemakers and to use faith-group buildings as places from which community mediation services can operate as neighbourhood reconciliation centres.
