Stephen’s previous experience includes work as research assistant to Justice Einstein in the Supreme Court of New South Wales, as a solicitor at a major national law firm and as a partner at two smaller commercial law firms. This breadth of experience has given Stephen exposure to a full spectrum of commercial litigation – from large, multi-party litigation to small, debt recovery matters (and everything in between) – and a real appreciation of the cost of litigation to companies and individuals alike and how critical it is that a legal adviser provides value to their client.

Some of Stephen’s work includes:

• Acting for manufacturers in defended claims for breach of contract and misleading or deceptive conduct;
• Acting for employers in relation to claims regarding confidential information and the enforcement of restraints of trade;
• Acting for commercial property owners in the enforcement of their rights against tenants; and
• Acting for company directors in relation to their directors’ duties.
