I had the great honour—and pleasure—of working with Stephen for four years at the Law Society. He was always generous with his time and was always ready to make an introduction to his vast network of contacts around the world. No matter where in the world or in what subject area, Stephen always knew who I should talk to. And such was the weight of Stephen’s reputation globally that a request citing his name would always be accepted. I can say that almost everyone in my network of contacts is a result of Stephen’s introductions. He was always patient and generous with his time in sharing his expertise and knowledge with a newcomer to the legal services industry. Stephen was a giant of the legal profession. His contribution to the Law Society cannot be understated and he cannot be replaced. As was said during his memorial, he leaves a Stephen-sized hole in the organisation that can never be filled. It was my great honour to have had the chance to work with him and can only wish that it had been for longer.
