About Stephen
Stephen Burrow trained at two institutions known for rigorous programs. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Foreign Service from Georgetown University in 1988. He returned to graduate school at Tulane University School of Law and received his J.D. in 1993. Those academic years set the stage for a practice shaped by commercial and technical concerns.
His career spans work in both Alabama and Mississippi, where he is licensed to practice. Over the years he has taken an active role in professional groups that reflect his interests. He has been a member of the Mississippi Bar Business Law Section since 2002 and joined the American Bar Association’s Business Law Section in 2004. In 2005 he became part of the Mississippi Bar’s Technology Committee, a group that addresses the changing intersection of law and digital tools. He also joined the American Inns of Court in 2006. For a time he served on the Mississippi Bar Medical-Legal Committee from 2007 to 2008.
Those affiliations point to the kinds of matters he handles. His work involves corporate and commercial transactions, contract matters, and issues that arise where technology affects business operations. He advises on governance and compliance questions that businesses face as they adapt processes and systems. He also handles transactions that require attention to both legal detail and practical operational needs.
Colleagues describe him as steady in the handling of complex transactions and practical when counseling clients. He tends to approach problems by breaking them down into discrete issues. That method helps clients understand options and weigh risk. It also suits the cross-disciplinary subjects he encounters when technology or medical-related matters overlap with traditional business law.
Outside committee work, he has participated in continuing legal education and bar activities that address emerging legal challenges. The memberships he maintains reflect a professional interest in how law responds to technological change and in the nuts and bolts of business practice. He has kept those interests consistent over more than two decades of practice.
He maintains a private practice in the region and continues to participate in bar committees and professional groups. His current practice focuses on business law, commercial transactions, and technology-related legal matters.
