Professor Loukas Mistelis has joined Steptoe as a partner in London, adding one of international arbitration’s best-known practitioner-academics to the firm’s disputes platform.
His practice spans work as counsel and arbitrator, alongside long-standing academic and institutional roles. The move from Clyde & Co is therefore notable not simply as a lateral hire, but as another example of firms strengthening their international arbitration benches with lawyers whose work crosses practice, scholarship, and arbitral appointments.
For the market, the appointment underlines London’s continuing pull as a centre for international disputes. It also reflects the premium firms place on practitioners who can bring a genuinely global perspective to complex cross-border matters.
