Stephen has been a partner in the Insurance and Reinsurance Group at CMS Cameron McKenna and its predecessor practices since May 1988, having qualified in 1981.
He is recognised as a leading lawyer in several fields of insurance, his main areas of specialism being construction insurance (all classes) and D&O.
Stephen is the main client relationship partner for Chartis and Chubb, who are both significant clients of the firm.
Historically much of Stephen’s work has been on contentious matters, on instructions from Insurers and Insured. He does also have a mature policy wording advisory and drafting practice and has assisted in the development and documentation of a number of new product lines, including M&A insurance (eg warranty and indemnity, tax indemnity, POSI and litigation portfolio transfers) and ancillary construction insurances (eg latent defects, operator controlled project PI cover, force majeure, and bonding substitute insurance products etc).
Finally, Stephen’s team handles insurance consultancy work for non-insurance clients of the firm – principally advice on the insurance and consultancy clauses in contractual documentation for PFI, PPP and Energy and Power projects.
