Stuart Farr

Partner

Commercial Dispute Resolution & Avoidance

Stuart is a seasoned commercial disputes lawyer with over 30 years’ experience in dispute resolution. Predominantly specialising in contractual disputes and negligence (notably professional negligence), Stuart has assisted commercial businesses and individual clients to address a wide range of business related and private problems. In many instances, he has become their “go to” trusted advisor.

Stuart’s experience covers many manufacturing and service-based industries. He is often instructed on technical and complex disputes involving breaches of specification, and product liability. He also advises clients on matters arising from investments, shareholdings, partnerships, franchises, agencies, distributorships, suppliers and customers up and down the commercial supply chains.

Stuart has a niche expertise in firearms law. As an advisory member of the Gun Trade Association, he assists manufacturers, retailers and private individuals in and around the gun trade. He is a regular columnist in national and trade publications and a Freeman of the Worshipful Company of Gunmakers.

Stuart is passionate about shooting and the “great outdoors”. For well over a decade, he has written numerous articles for various trade and popular magazines on subjects ranging from firearms law to sloe gin. He is a keen (though admittedly unaccomplished) cook. Stuart also enjoys spending downtime with his family and their affectionate rescue Collie.
