Testimonials

“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.”

Legal 500

“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

“Stephen and his team of experts at MLP have been advising us since 2014 on areas ranging from commercial transactions and the legal due diligence around them to employment law, commercial disputes, and property. Always prompt to respond, I’ve found the help and advice I’ve received over the years is accurate, with the balance of risks clearly explained, but always accompanied with recommendations that are in a commercial context. Added to this, the personal and cheerful touch that is always present in their service makes them a delight to work with. I’d highly recommend them!”
