Stephenson Harwood has added to its City real estate practice with the hire of McGrigors London partner Stephen Sumpton.

Sumpton, who made the move between the two firms earlier this month (6 June), had been a partner at McGrigors since 2002. Before that he also spent 10 years at Baker & McKenzie in the firm’s London and Moscow offices, as well as two years at legacy KPMG legal arm KLegal.
