In September 2019, Stephen won the Silver award for Supplier of the Year at the inaugural Approved Franchise Association (AFA) Awards.

Stephen said:
“I was delighted to be featured among the top franchising lawyers in the UK. I work with many franchise clients, both franchisors and franchisees, helping to add value to their businesses and finding the best route to market for them.
“During this particularly tough time for businesses, franchising offers an opportunity for business growth as well as an alternative path for those who may have found themselves unemployed due to the pandemic. It is a pleasure to support those looking to start out or expand through franchising”.
Editor of What Franchise, Jeff James said:
“In the franchise industry, Stephen is among the most distinguished members of the UK legal profession. Investing in a franchise is a big decision to make and it’s important you enlist the services of a suitably qualified franchise lawyer before making a commitment.”
