LEADING JUNIORS3
Stephen Hopper – 5 Paper Buildings ‘Stephen is one of the most able at the Bar when it comes to difficult and highly technical expert evidence. He has a highly impressive ability to focus on and simplify complex scientific analysis and concepts, and can make the seemingly incomprehensible both intelligible and digestible. He comes across as so reasonable in his advocacy that it can be very difficult to disagree with him.’
