Lewis qualified as a solicitor in 2019 and joined Gibson & Co. in 2020. A modern languages graduate from the University of St Andrews (where he was a Rector’s Scholar and a St Salvator’s Scholar), he obtained distinctions in the Graduate Diploma in Law and the Legal Practice Course before training at Hogan Lovells in London and Paris. He qualified there into one of the City’s leading commercial litigation teams before joining Gibson & Co.
He has experience acting for major corporate clients, SMEs and individuals on a wide range of contentious commercial work including contract disputes, professional negligence claims, shareholder and partnership disputes, regulatory proceedings, civil fraud claims, consumer claims and debt enforcement. He also has experience in routine and complex residential possession claims on both the landlord and tenant side, as well as presumption of death and guardianship order applications.
His work has included cases in the Court of Appeal, the Chancery Division and King’s Bench Division of the High Court, the Commercial Court, and the Upper Tribunal.
In addition to English he speaks French and Russian (and is always trying to learn more). Outside of work he enjoys travelling, history, pub quizzes, cycling, cooking and following (with less dread than in previous years) Newcastle United.
