I have known the guys at Stripes for a couple of years now and in particular Steve Jarman.  Steve and I worked together on a complex, mid market transaction back in 2007/2008.  Steve always presented advice and position of his client in a balanced and thought through way acknowledging all sides to the argument; not adversarial in anyway – someone who wanted to get a deal done and was experienced in finding a way through issues.  Steve’s manner is similar to that presented by the wider firm in being relaxed, approachable and experienced.I have known the guys at Stripes for a couple of years now and in particular Steve Jarman.  Steve and I worked together on a complex, mid market transaction back in 2007/2008.  Steve always presented advice and position of his client in a balanced and thought through way acknowledging all sides to the argument; not adversarial in anyway – someone who wanted to get a deal done and was experienced in finding a way through issues.  Steve’s manner is similar to that presented by the wider firm in being relaxed, approachable and experienced.
