As well as having worked for various law firms, Stephen also provides lectures for Central Legal Training teaching tax for a module within the STEP diploma in trusts and estates for England and Wales, for which he is also a member.

And he works with a broad range of clients ranging from farm owners to entrepreneurs and business owners and deal with both on and offshore trust matters.

In Stephen's spare time he likes to play badminton locally and during lockdown he has been home-schooling his two sons.
