Stephen Lea joins Nexus
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 10 December 2010
Northwest-based music lawyer Stephen Lea, whose clients have included Tears For Fears, Take That, New Order, The Charlatans, James, Russell Watson, Happy Mondays and the late Tony Wilson, is to join Manchester-based legal firm Nexus where he will continue to represent his existing clients as well as helping the company expand its music and entertainment division.
Confirming his move, Lea told CMU: “My areas of specialism are extremely compatible with those offered by the like-minded team at Nexus, and I’m very excited about the prospects of working with them. Both new and existing clients will now enjoy the support of an even broader range of expertise. Our combined experience will be unique in the North West”.
Nexus partner Tony Brook added: “We are delighted that Stephen is joining us. His knowledge experience and reputation will prove a considerable asset to our team. Although Manchester has enjoyed a vibrant music scene for many years, the focus for legal expertise has been in London – Stephen is one of the few notable exceptions”.
Lea will continue to act as a consultant for Lea & Company, the Stockport-based law firm he set up in 1990.
