Law firm Stephenson Harwood LLP has augmented its professional liability and regulatory practice with the addition of Adam Culy, who joins the firm as a partner in London. Culy joins from BDO, where he was the accountancy firm’s General Counsel for twelve years, and focused on accountancy claims and regulatory investigations.

The addition of Adam will add to this strength and enable us to enhance further the support we provide to our professional services clients.”
Prior to joining BDO Culy practised as a New Zealand criminal prosecutor and then a UK professional indemnity lawyer.
“Adam’s arrival is an important step in the further development of our top-tier professional liability and regulatory practice, and is further evidence of our commitment to strengthening it,” said Paul Thwaite, co-head of Stephenson Harwood’s commercial litigation practice group.
