Stepan Stepanyants

Associate Solicitor

Areas: Corporate & Commercial

Stepan joined the firm as a trainee solicitor and successfully completed work in different practice areas required to fully qualify. First, he undertook a split seat in litigation and insolvency & restructuring. Conveyancing was next and, with a master’s degree in corporate law, he says he was delighted that his final seat was corporate and commercial.

Stepan’s efficiency, as well as his legal talent, have already been noticed by the firm’s partners and, of course, clients. His dedication has especially been impressive in one of GSC’s large-scale transactions, a £420m acquisition for a long-standing client.

Stepan is driven by deadlines. “I do everything on time, so my clients know they do not have to worry that their work will be done.” It is a trait that has served him well during his training, where Stepan has also enjoyed the cut and thrust of contentious litigation. He is valuing the breadth of experience he has gained across GSC working with Clive Halperin, Richard Curtin, Carole Joseph, Matthew Phillips, and Harvey Posener.

Qualified to practise in Russia, Stepan is available to support GSC’s Russian-speaking clientele. “As a Russian speaker, I have some understanding of clients’ needs and expectations,” he says.

Stepan loves travel. Always eager for a new road trip, he is currently planning his next adventure to northern Europe and Scandinavia.

Qualifications & Experience

Stepan attended MGIMO University (2015 LLB and 2017 LLM) and has expertise in Russian law.

He completed the Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL) with a commendation and the Master of Laws in Legal Practice (LLM LPC) with a distinction at BPP Law School in London.

Before joining GSC in 2020, Stepan worked as a paralegal for Most Law Offices in Moscow. He also interned for the Moscow Arbitration Court and worked as an interpreter for the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation.

Stepan joined GSC as a trainee solicitor in 2020 qualifying in 2022. Corporate work was the last area of law in which he trained before qualifying and is the area in which he has remained.

Stepan is a native Russian speaker and has a good command of French.

‘A small firm which punches well above its weight’ GSC Solicitors LLP undertook leasing transactions for several blue-chip corporate tenants, particularly in the media sector. It acted for a number of hotel owners regarding the acquisition and development of new hotels.

“We have found the service excellent, and it is for this reason we have continued to use GSC. The key strengths for us have been a commercial approach to deals that is often missing from solicitors, and a personal service based on a knowledge of us and our needs and long-term plans.”

“The main positive comparison we have noted from GSC is the personal touch and commercial acumen.”

“We have often used different legal firms for IP and other work in the past, but GSC’s commercial approach and professionalism, coupled with the excellent working relationship we have built up over a number of years makes it our preferred choice.”

“As a Financial Advisor I have been personally using and recommending GSC for over thirty years. I have referred clients of mine to them and only ever been thanked for the recommendation, which should convey the confidence I have in the individuals, and the firm.”

“Great result today. Just wanted to say thank you for your continued hard work in fighting our corner on this case. You have both been amazing. Michael incredible support and good ideas.”
