Partner promotion strengthens London & Gibraltar offering

Litigation and arbitration boutique Signature Litigation has announced the promotion of Steven De Lara to the partnership. Steven’s promotion takes the total number of partners at the firm to 14.

Steven practises in both London and Gibraltar—two of the three locations in which Signature Litigation has an office. Steven joined the firm in early 2017, shortly after the launch of the Gibraltar office. He focuses his practice on corporate litigation, contentious insolvency, regulatory investigations and private client disputes. He regularly acts for and against international banks and multinational companies on civil fraud, derivatives trading, funds and other matters.

Steven is also currently the only lawyer in Gibraltar to be licensed by the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission as an Insolvency Practitioner.

Steven said: ‘I am delighted to now be a partner at Signature Litigation and am looking forward to working with my colleagues in London and Paris to bolster our offering of conflict free dispute resolution services to our international clients.’

Founding partner Graham Huntley commented: ‘First and foremost Steven's appointment strengthens our commitment to growing with the right people, but also through Steven it provides us with unique capabilities in our Gibraltar office.’
