About Stephen

I joined SRLV in 2006 with over 20 years’ entertainment industry expertise gained from a leading US business management practice. As a Partner in the Creative division, I have led the expansion of the music team over the years, including our recent acquisition of Joan Hudson & Co.

My client portfolio is very talent-led, including many well-known musicians, bands, actors, performers and theatrical and TV producers. I have an in-depth knowledge of the live touring industry and many close connections with respected UK and US lawyers and managers.

Alongside providing advice and ongoing business management support to my clients, whether they are touring internationally, renegotiating their publishing or recording contracts, purchasing assets, or growing their brands internationally, in recent years, I have been consulted by UK legal teams to provide expert opinion on matrimonial dispute cases involving music catalogue valuations and am a member of the Academy of Experts.

Consultation develops organically throughout our client relationships and we become an integral part of our clients’ advisory teams, alongside their manager and lawyers. I like to think of myself as a very trusted confidant to my clients, who can contact me whenever they need to for financial or personal matters.
