Career

Stephen Shaw is a barrister with over 30 years’ experience of property and commercial litigation. He has acted in many high profile and leading cases.

He is particularly good at quelling the more emotive aspects of claims, and particularly impresses with his perseverance and ability to deal with volatile personalities”.
