Stevie is regularly instructed by international federations, national governing bodies, and rights holders, on their biggest and most complex contentious matters. He has particular expertise in cost control related disputes, particularly in football. He also has extensive experience acting for elite athletes on a range of contractual disputes and reputational related matters.
The leading independent legal directories recommend him as a leading sports law practitioner. In Chambers and Partners 2027 he is described as:
“One of the most extraordinary lawyers that I have come across – the most enthusiastic, go-getting solicitor that I know. He is trusted by some of the biggest and most prominent clients and rights-holders in the sporting world to handle their most complex and valuable disputes.”
“One of the strongest practitioners I have worked with in the sector. He combines excellent technical ability with real tactical intelligence and commercial instinct.”
“Absolutely fantastic. Commercial, pragmatic and responsive.”
Out of the office Stevie enjoys spending time with his family (his three young boys keep him on his toes), cycling, doing cross fit and cooking / hosting. His rugby days are definitely behind him, though he occasionally forgets his age, tries to play and immediately gets injured.
