ABOUT DONNA NEWMAN

Partner in the Commercial Litigation Department at Stephenson Harwood LLP. Ranked in the Legal 500 UK as a next generation partner (banking litigation – investment and retail). I work with clients with commercial disputes (or with issues that may lead to a commercial dispute) with a view to resolving that dispute at the best possible outcome. This includes advising on the merits of a position, corresponding/negotiating with the other side, strategy, litigation and alternative dispute resolution such as arbitration or mediation. The matters I work on are often complex and involve a number of jurisdictions. I have experience across a wide range of financial products and markets as well as with disputes involving shareholders, partnership joint ventures, acquisitions and investments. I frequently advise clients in relation to disputes arising when contracts, trades or transactions have been derailed because of unexpected events including issues relating to business interruption, problems with performance of contracts, issues with counterparties, aborted transactions, loan defaults, margin calls, issues with collateral posting and valuation, close outs and erroneous trades or prices.
