General capability

Stephen Williams joined the Norman Waterhouse Partnership in July, 2007 as a solicitor in the Commercial and Dispute Resolution Team.

Stephen is a commercial litigator with over 20 years experience working across a wide range of jurisdictions and disciplines.  His experience and expertise centre on a number of areas, including property related litigation (leases, caveats, encroachments, valuations, easements, and restrictive covenants), insolvency, banking litigation, security enforcement and contractual disputes

Stephen has a deserved reputation for being commercially minded. His focus for clients centres around achieving commercially acceptable outcomes. His philosophy is that it is his role to assist his clients to achieve a resolution of the disputes they encounter, avoiding litigation unless it is necessary or inevitable.

He is particularly skilled as a negotiator and has enjoyed considerable success in conducting mediations.
