Eleanor Stephens

Eleanor qualified in 1998 into the insolvency team at ASB law. She became a partner in 2005, and went on to head up the Recovery & Insolvency team and latterly the Dispute Resolution team incorporating the R&I team. Whilst originally specialising mainly in contentious corporate insolvency matters, in recent years she also moved into the non-contentious arena, in particular specialising in advisory work and company administrations. For many years she led a team acting for the Department of Business Innovation and Skills in disqualifying company directors for the Secretary of State. Eleanor joined Lexis Nexis in February 2011 to set up the Lexis PSL Restructuring & Insolvency product, heading up a team of in house lawyers writing on line content for lawyers and insolvency practitioners. Eleanor now works as a freelance solicitor, including writing for Lexis Nexis.
