Derek Henderson, Boydell Pipework

I have been dealing with Stripes over the last three years, not as a client but in association with another company.

During this period I have dealt directly with several of the Stripes team, their approach and service has been professional and friendly. With any difficult issue from giving advice to action, Stripes have delivered.

I have been so impressed that I have moved our business with them.


Paul Hebden, Business Wardrobe

I have worked with Stripes since September 2007. They have provided advice to me for a number of different companies, across a number of sectors from established businesses to start-ups.

Their advice has covered a range of areas including property transactions, litigation matters, corporate tax and shareholder issues. Throughout this time Stripes have proved to be proactive, client-focussed and I would have no hesitation in recommending their services to other companies.


Stephen G Greenwood, Deferred Consideration Surety S.A.

Without hesitation I would affirm that Stripes are one of the most dynamic legal firms in the UK.
It’s not just that the overall culture in the Stripes group that is one of a high calibre, but that every individual partner has the same high calibre. They all have the same high quality human values and are all “principal” driven.

This overall essence of the firm creates an consistent excellence. They rise above the rest is because of this ‘permanence’ they have in the ethics of the delivery. It’s not just one who is genius and consistent at delivering quality advice, it’s the whole and that is unique.

Yes, they are inventive, entrepreneurial and even genius in their corporate and commercial work but how they manage to balance and maintain this with our own requirements for complex and highly technical legal advice is to be commended.


Philip Price, Dow Schofield Watts LLP

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.


John Ridd, NWIX Group Ltd

Right from the inset Stripes listened to our business requirements, especially for an early stage business, then provided a flexible and commercial approach that enabled NWIX to scale our needs alongside our growth path.

Above all Stripes are always professional, deliver on time and offer a pragmatic approach.


David Plant, Proventure Consulting

I have introduced Stripes to a number of clients involved in the acquisition of businesses.

Being “Principal” led they are the ideal partner for entrepreneurs and owner managers looking for help in the acquisition process, which can be a stressful time.

They have always acted promptly, efficiently and professionally, and importantly for owner managers have a very realistic attitude to fees which helps to maintain the relationship long after a transaction.


David Gutfreund, Trident

Melanie Yeomans advised us on a corporate transaction and I was extremely impressed with her professionalism, stamina and the way she stood toe to toe with considerably bigger, national firms.

Stripes gave us excellent value for money and a high degree of personal service, and I would heartily recommend them to anyone.


Mark Jones, Woodcock & Wilson

Having developed a fantastic working relationship with Steve Jarman, we now consider Stripes to be our first port of call for all matters legal. We would never use anyone else.
