Mark Shipley
Managing Director
Mark's a round peg to the square hole that is the legal profession. Having grown up working as part of the family business, Mark planned to avoid the law, put off by traditional firms' values and approaches which didn't fit the requirements of the commercial world. However, following an epiphany, Mark returned from life in France in order to qualify and develop the skills he needed to fulfil his vision of a law firm which met the needs of businessmen; a law firm for the 21st century that provided a holistic service for business - providing them with a legal vision to maximise their potential.
Mark values 'real' people, who he sees as an essential part of his vision for his unconventional firm - in both the clients and the team he choose to work with. Mark is as committed to the other areas of his life as to the firm; a keen hockey player (injury permitting!) and regular runner, Mark's next challenge is to run the New York Marathon.
