Career
Stewart is a partner in the Restructuring and Insolvency group at Fieldfisher and is a well-known and highly respected expert in his field.
Stewart is the chair of the R3 General Technical Committee, a member of R3’s Council and a member of the consulting editorial board of LexisNexis PSL. He was the 2017 TRI Corporate Restructuring Lawyer of the Year.
In October 2020, Stewart orchestrated the design, development and launch of a new Standard Form CVA, in collaboration with R3 and Peter Walton, Professor of Insolvency Law at the University of Wolverhampton, who is also a member of R3’s General Technical Committee.
The Standard Form documents are intended for use by SME companies whose businesses have been affected by Covid-19. They are intended to save time and costs, and therefore make CVAs more accessible to the SME market.
The Standard Form CVA was very well received by the insolvency industry and its launch was covered by The Times, Accountancy Daily and SmallBusiness.co.uk.
Stewart is regularly quoted in the international, national and industry press on trends in insolvency and changes in UK policy regarding insolvency and restructuring, e.g.:
The New York Times – Debenhams and Topshop Fall, Pushed by Fast Fashion and Pandemic
The Financial Times – New Look CVA challenged by landlords
Big Hospitality – Commercial tenants under lockdown: five questions answered
Estates Gazette – CVAs have their limits – but landlords have more to worry about
