Partner

Stephen is a leading practitioner in media law and is also recognised for his expertise in investigative work.

Before entering the law, he gained a broad experience base as a journalist, a parliamentary researcher, and an editor. 

His previous experience equips him with a wider perspective on the role of legal issues within the larger context of commerce and public opinion. 

Stephen is described by the Chambers Guide as "sharp as a whip…a tenacious litigator", while The Legal 500 credits his "particular expertise in forensic cases where evidence is of high importance".
