Richard Stephens decided to leave the City in 2004 and set up his own practice focusing on his core skills while building a practice in new areas including mediation and arbitration. Prior to that, he had been a partner at two substantial City of London practices specialising in Technology Law. He served as Chairman for two years of the Society for Computers & Law, and is currently serving as Chairman of the Legal Affairs Group of Intellect. He has extensive experience of many different types of commercial transactions while acting for the technology industries and is a regular speaker at national and international conferences on a range of subjects connected to Technology and Commercial Law. He is probably best known for his updates on commercial contract law

Peter Groves has been a practising solicitor for 40 years, in private practice and in-house (with the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, the CBI and the Royal Institute of British Architects). He has worked in, and taught and written about, many areas of commercial law, in particular intellectual property, competition and IT law. He wrote his PhD thesis on competition law in the motor industry, and among his several books is A Dictionary of Intellectual Property Law (2011, Edward Elgar).

Keith Markham qualified as a Solicitor in 2001 and now works as a freelance training consultant. Initially working in private practice, in 2004 he moved in-house at the BGL Group, a major insurance intermediary. During his time there Keith advised extensively on all areas of data protection. In 2007, Keith joined BPP Professional Education, and worked there as both an in-house lawyer dealing with data protection and commercial contracts and also as a presenter of training courses before ultimately deciding to specialise in delivering training and becoming a freelance training consultant in 2009. Drawing on his considerable experience Keith has designed and delivered a wide variety of training on topics relating to data protection and commercial law to lawyers and non-lawyers alike. He is also currently involved in a number of GDPR compliance projects.

Dov Ohrenstein is a member of Radcliffe Chambers. Commercial disputes are at the heart of much of Dov’s practice. These typically arise in relation to the sale of goods and supply of services, agency agreements, loans and guarantees and often involve freezing orders and other applications for urgent injunctive relief. He has been recommended as a leading junior by Chambers UK Bar and The Legal 500 UK Bar in three commercial and chancery fields: commercial chancery, commercial litigation and professional negligence. He is a regular speaker on contract disputes
