Stephen Hockman QC qualified as a barrister in 1971 and has practised ever since from Chambers in Pump Court, Temple. He became a QC in 1990.
He is a leader of exceptionally high standing who has a broad health and safety, environmental and planning practice encompassing judicial review, inquiries, arbitration, civil claims, and criminal prosecution and defence work. He is recognised as one of the leading practitioners in the fields of health and safety law, and environmental law. In recent years he has been nominated as Health and Safety Silk of the Year, and Environment/Planning Silk of the Year, at the Chambers UK Bar Awards; and Real Estate, Environment and Planning Silk of the Year at The Legal 500 UK Bar Awards. He is also listed in Who’s Who Legal: UK Bar as a leading barrister in environmental law.
His particular strength lies in the breadth and varied nature of his practice. He is able to draw on his extensive experience in his specialist areas of regulatory and health and safety law, civil and commercial law, and planning and environmental law to provide a unique service in complex and high-profile litigation.
The majority of his clients are well resourced and high profile corporates, often multinationals, who are sensitive to their reputation in the sector in which they operate.
Stephen’s practice has also incorporated a significant element of local government work, and he has appeared for and advised local authorities in every part of the country on a regular basis, on issues such as town and country planning, and internal governance.
He was Chairman of the General Council of the Bar in 2006, and Treasurer of Middle Temple in 2015. These representative roles brought him into contact with the highest levels of government and he continues to enjoy a cordial relationship with senior politicians of all parties.
