Accepting new clients via ReviewSolicitors

Paul leads our Employment Team with energy and expertise. Recognised by the Legal 500 as a top employment lawyer in the Northwest, he's known for supporting businesses with practical, commercial advice. He trained at a top 10 City firm and worked for a specialist construction firm in the West End before moving to Manchester in 1992 to join a commercial boutique. Paul joined Hill Dickinson as a partner in the Employment Team, then moved to Wacks Caller as a partner. In 2005, he and Dov Black joined BBS Law (now Orwins), where they have significantly grown the business, providing legal services to an entrepreneurial client base across the UK. Paul continues to advise on all aspects of employment law, from share options to benefits, but his real focus is working side by side with clients on commercial challenges. He drafts and negotiates contracts that help businesses grow – from supply and distribution agreements to bespoke commercial contracts and IP licences. Clients value Paul's collaborative approach and his knack for finding real-world solutions. He's known for being reliable, knowledgeable, and always focused on what matters most to his clients.

Pleasant to deal with and efficient

I was recommended Paul Stedman by a friend and I had the pleasure of working with his associate Ben Calvet-Williams on an employment law matter. Ben was great to work with, offered good advice, listened to me and my wants and needs, was quick and efficient in his dealings and made sure that I was fully informed of everything along the way. Have already recommended him to someone else to use.
