He has particular experience of dual listings and has worked on transactions involving 'duals' listed on Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, London, Almaty, Zagreb, Prague, Moscow, Kiev and several western European countries. He has spent time on secondment to clients and works hard at understanding client goals and challenges.
He works for both issuers and underwriters and has a deep understanding of market norms and practices, including the need to respect the fact that all issuers are different. His relationships with securities regulators around the world gives him a clear perspective and understanding of the policy drivers for disclosure documents.
Stephen spent fours years in the US, as US managing partner, and has worked in various countries around the world, including many emerging markets.
