He is regularly briefed to appear unled in hearings in all courts in New South Wales, in courts with federal jurisdiction and has appeared in interstate Supreme Courts.

Steven has also developed considerable experience and expertise helping clients achieve timely, commercial and pragmatic resolutions to legal disputes through mediation and arbitration. 

Prior to being called to the Bar in 2015, Steven practised as a solicitor with Clayton Utz, the corporate regulator (ASIC) and spent 8 years working as an in-house counsel in the investment banking sector in London and Sydney, most recently with the Swiss bank, UBS AG.

This experience has given Steven a strong understanding of the practical drivers of commercial transactions and contracts from a client’s perspective and has helped him develop a practical, solutions-based approach to advising clients and resolving disputes.
