Stephen has a broad range of experience in the banking and finance arena, including general banking advice to major international and local clients in relation to general acquisition finance and asset-based finance transactions.

“We recognise that the level of complexity in banking and finance in South Africa and across Africa is on the rise. Stephen’s expertise will enhance our abilities to deliver strategic and solution-based advice to leading businesses in the region,” says Deon Wilken, Director and National Practice Head for Finance and Banking.

Stephen began his career as a Candidate Attorney in 2001 at Deneys Reitz Inc (renamed Norton Rose Fulbright South Africa), where he was appointed as a Director in October 2007. He spent a year on secondment in London from July 2006 to July 2007 where he was employed in the corporate and capital markets department of Clifford Chance.

“We continue to make key appointments as we strengthen our core advisory capacity across our practice areas. We welcome Stephen on board and wish him well in future endeavours in what is a key sector for us,” adds Wilken.
