‘The Stephenson Harwood team goes from strength to strength' and 'it is brilliantly led by Jenny McKeown', who is ’unflappable’. The group predominantly advises ultra-high-net-worth entrepreneurs and business owners, as well as their families and trustees from around the world. The practice has continued to expand into the Asian market, with a number of the department’s most significant matters being connected with the region. It ‘stands out due to its comprehensive expertise and global reach’ say clients, and for its work with domestic dynastic families. Helena Berman enjoyed another strong year advising on several significant contentious trusts disputes. Peter Gillis routinely leads cases with large international teams on his own.
