John Cahill

Stewarts

Back in 2000, Stewarts was a small London general commercial and litigation firm that had been spun off by Clarke Willmott. John Cahill was there at the start, and was involved in the far-sighted and inspired decision that it should concentrate solely on litigation. And the rest is history.

From its roots in claimant catastrophic personal injury, Stewarts has become one of the biggest players in claimant litigation and looks poised to reap the benefits of the funding-assisted claimant wave.

Through all that time, Cahill has been a steady hand, guiding the firm through its stratospheric growth and into successful new areas ranging from family to commercial to competition.
2020 saw Cahill make an important declaration: rather than cut salaries or hours for its staff, Cahill insisted that the senior end should take the hit. Pandemic aside, Cahill has been attending to important issues, such as developing a robust succession plan for the firm’s leadership, and refining the funding model to ensure swift and frictionless access to after the event (ATE) insurance.
