Michael Levenstein

Michael specialises in construction and engineering disputes and general commercial litigation. Michael’s cases frequently involve high-value and technically-complex disputes, both in the TCC and international litigation and arbitration. His commercial practice, which includes a number of high-profile and international clients, tends to focus on difficult issues of contractual interpretation, including heavily-amended standard form and third party agreements.

Michael serves as a member of the Executive Committee of TECBAR. He is also a TECBAR-accredited Adjudicator and Mediator.

In addition to his practice, Michael is a Visiting Lecturer and an LLM supervisor at The City Law School, University of London.

Outside of work, Michael was elected one of the youngest-ever Fellows of the Royal Society of Arts for his scholarly contributions to legal reform and philosophy. He also regularly enjoys squash and sailing, and is a classically-trained pianist.
