Stephen Hill practices commercial litigation with an emphasis on antitrust and intellectual property litigation as well as venture financing. Most notably, he was co-lead counsel for the litigation team that successfully negotiated a substantial settlement for client Caldera against Microsoft. In a classic David-and-Goliath case, Mr. Hill and his team spent four years on the case, which had a significant impact on the computer industry. By challenging Microsoft, Mr. Hill participated in a case many in the industry had talked about, but never attempted.

In addition to his law practice, Mr. Hill is a member of the Board of Directors of Linux Networx, Inc. and Western Odyssey, Inc. Mr. Hill formerly served as President and CEO of Linux Networx. During his tenure, the company more than quadrupled its revenues and built two of the world's top ten supercomputers.

Mr. Hill has been sought out as a conference speaker for his knowledge of open source software issues. He was listed in the 2007-2009 editions of Utah Business Magazine's Legal Elite in business litigation and the 2010 edition of Best Lawyers in America.
