Founding Partner, Stephen Bishop, commented as follows: ‘We are delighted to announce these two board appointments, which are a key part of the delivery of our vision for Bishop & Sewell for 2020 and beyond. Michael has exceptional skills in the management arena and Mark has a comprehensive knowledge of the firm, having been key to its growth over the last ten years’.

In the 14 years prior to joining Bishop & Sewell, he worked for international and multinational firms and institutions including one magic circle firm, one silver circle firm, the number one (for nine consecutive years) Global Mining Law Firm of the Year. Michael has also worked for the European Commission.

Originally specialising property litigation, Mark Chick joined Bishop & Sewell in 2001. He is now recognised as a leading UK authority in Leasehold Reform and heads the firm’s practice group in this area.
