Position

Stephanie is an incisive advocate, good with clients and judges alike. She is known for getting straight to the heart of a dispute and valued for her good judgment.

Stephanie’s main areas of practice are property, wills, trusts and probate, partnerships and mediation.

Her real property work encompasses everything from beneficial interest claims, to mortgages and contracts for sale, commercial leases, restrictive covenants, easements and proprietary estoppel claims.
She has particular expertise in farming proprietary estoppel cases: Thompson v Thompson [2018] EWHC 1338 and Wills v Sowray [2020] EWHC 939 (Ch)

She has extensive experience of contentious probate work including Inheritance Act claims, challenges to the validity of wills and applications to remove executors.

Allied to this, Stephanie has developed expertise in Court of Protection work, including disputes between property and affairs attorneys and setting aside transactions for undue influence.

Stephanie has extensive experience of partnership disputes: from accountants to general practitioners, dentists, vets and even suppliers of car parts. She is well-regarded for her financial analysis and grasp of technical detail, which is often crucial for success in this area.

Stephanie’s professional negligence practice largely arises from her main practice areas, in particular solicitor’s and surveyor’s negligence.

Stephanie combines practice at the Bar with her work as a mediator. She is valued for her empathy with the parties, whether business people or bereaved family members and is often able to achieve a settlement which at the outset would appear impossible.
