Welcome

The Law Office of Richard Stephens (LORS) is a boutique IT law practice and provider of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) services.

While a “boutique”, I count among my clients some of the largest companies in the world as well as a wide range of SME’s all of whom value my specialist advice across a range of IT Law areas. I also link to other professionals like me, so can provide a complete service even for large or complex transactions.

On the dispute resolution side, I work as mediator, adjudicator and arbitrator in commercial cases, especially those with some sort of technology or communications aspect. In one or other of these capacities, I have acted in cases large and small.

I hope you find it useful - feel free to let me know what you think, or if you have any comments on the material I have posted here!
