Philip Richardson, head of Employment law at Stephensons Solicitors LLP, has been made a partner of the firm.
Philip started his training contract with Stephensons in 2002 and qualified as a solicitor in 2004. Since 2008, Philip has led the team of employment law solicitors and advisors which acts for businesses and individuals across the country in a range of contentious and non contentious employment law issues.
Philip has also developed a range of tailored HR and employment law packages which assist SMEs with all aspects of the HR requirements: Workplace Plus, Workplace Assist and Workplace Connect.
The Employment law team is part of Stephensons Commercial department, which recorded fee income of £2.75million last year and has grown in strength and depth with the opening of new London offices and several lateral hires and mergers.
Ann Harrison, Stephensons’ chairwoman, said: “It gives us immense pride to be able to invite one of our ‘home-grown’ solicitors to the partnership table. Phil has been with us for 12 years and has developed a significant practice which has contributed to the continuous success of our Commercial team.”
