Stephenson Harwood
With a strong focus on contentious matters, the ‘hands-on’ team at Stephenson Harwood represents international and domestic clients alike. Contentious matters are not the only facet of the firm, as in recent months, the firm has actively developed its non-contentious offering and has seen an upswing in work from both international and PRC-related corporates in their refinancing proceedings. ’Quick to adapt legal and practical strategies’, Jamie Stranger leads the team and focuses his practice on contentious proceedings, representing liquidators, receivers, and bankruptcy trustees in various insolvency proceedings. Alexander Tang is another standout disputes lawyer, and in addition to his expertise in insolvency, he also represents clients in commercial litigation and alternative dispute resolution proceedings. In team news, noteworthy developments include the departure of Eloise Matsui and the retirement of Mark Reed.
