Position

Stephen is a partner specialising in PFI/PPP/NPD/hub and Energy projects. Advising both public and private sector clients as well as funders, he has completed projects in a variety of sectors including healthcare, education, street lighting, waste, waste to energy, defence, wind, hydro and fire and rescue. He has significant experience in bid-stage projects and also in advises parties on operational projects in the healthcare, education and street lighting sectors (including secondary market sales, major variations and disputes). Clients advised include Balfour Beatty Investments, Consort Healthcare, Nord/LB, North Lanarkshire Council, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, Bank of New York Mellon, Co-operative Bank, Levenseat, Dexia Credit Local and RBS.
