“Stephen and everyone at mlp have looked after myself, my family and my business now for well over a decade and we could not imagine dealing with anyone else for our legal advice. He has helped us grow our company from a small £2m turnover business to over £33m including countless property deals, Employment contracts, HR issues, all our commercial dealings and the acquisition of 17 stores and for all this we will be forever grateful. Plus, with us both being City fans, we have had a great 10 years of football to talk about before and after our business meetings. Tracy and I would just like to say thank you for all the help, advice and most importantly friendship.”

Simon Vardy, Sim Trava

‘Our business relationship with Stephen goes back over nearly two decades which is testament to both his wide-ranging legal expertise and also his easy manner and working style. Stephen has provided constant support with our business and personal affairs over this time and we view him as both a trusted advisor and a friend. We have always found mlp to be approachable, flexible and efficient and continue to work with them on both a corporate and personal level’

John

“I would have no problem with recommending this solicitor or using them myself again. They provided an excellent service throughout. The solicitor handling my request was Doris Raggatt and I found her straight forward and easy to deal with.”

Barbara

“Jane Hunter was both helpful and accommodating. Communication was swift and my questions were always answered. Many thanks.”

Joanna

‘Wow Stephen, 10 years! Congratulations and thank you for all the advice and support during that time. Your personal guidance along with the wider mlplaw team has been important for us. Project briefs have always been taken carefully and a legal tone that matches our style is achieved. You have spent many years getting to know us, always been very responsive and able to deal with all our requirements through the extensive departments within mlplaw. Good luck with the next 10 years and I look forward to continuing to work with you.’

Richard

I have worked with MLP law now both on a personal and a business capacity since mid 2018. Regardless of the service that Howorth or I have required the support, advice and attention to detail has always been first class. There is always a clear focus on the needs of the client and ensuring that the desired outcome is achieved in a friendly and professional manner. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend MLP law”

Jim Liptrot, Howorth Air Tech

“Stephen is great at simplifying situations and explaining legal processes in basic terms so that you are able to understand and make the right decisions for your business. He is responsive and supportive as well as extremely knowledgeable. We have used Stephen on two occasions and were delighted with his expertise and service given. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him to anyone needing commercial, legal support for their business.”

LD, Review Solicitors

“As per my note to the group, I am hugely grateful for everything you guys have done to lead us through this. We couldn’t do what we do without the support of partners like MLP and truly value our relationship with you. We wouldn’t want to go anywhere else.”

Travelogix Ventures

“After exploring several succession planning options, we found that the EOT model was the best way forward, offering attractive benefits for both the shareholders and employees. We are very grateful for the expertise and guidance provided by mlplaw, whose knowledge and experience provided us with clear advice and guidance throughout our EOT journey. We would highly recommend them”
