New Senior Partner for MCP Solicitors
 Tim is looking forward to the challenge of leading one of the largest law firms in East Anglia |
MCP Solicitors has a new Senior Partner. After 6 years as Senior Partner and 37 with the firm, David Rutter has stepped down and Tim Stevenson taken up the mantle.
Tim is pure East Anglian - born to Norfolk parents, he was brought up in Suffolk and gained his degree at Cambridge University. He has been with MCP Solicitors since 1977 and deals with all aspects of Commercial Law.
Tim has always lived locally to Thetford and has strong connections to the area. He grew up fishing for tadpoles by the second Thetford Railway Station and his father was closely involved in the development of the town during the 1950s and 1960s.
He also has many links to the King's Lynn and Wisbech area. When growing up he regularly stayed with family in Terrington. While there he would visit the cattle market in Lynn, collect samphire from the marshes and go to Wisbech to sell onions.
Tim was instrumental in challenging the prohibition on Sunday Trading. On this matter in 1992 the firm had more cases in the European Court than any other in the UK. As a result of the work of both Tim and others in the firm we can now do our shopping on a Sunday, although Tim prefers to pursue more rural interests.
Tim has a particular interest in agricultural clients. With 2 of the firm's 4 offices being based in the Fens he is very aware of the importance of rural affairs to the businesses and people of East Anglia.
Tim said of his new appointment "I am looking forward to the challenges of leading one of the largest law firms in East Anglia. I hope that, as Senior Partner, I can support my colleagues as we work together to provide the best possible service for our clients.
"While nationally the country may be facing a downturn I believe that East Anglia is well placed to weather the storm, with its diverse economy and population. I am optimistic that the firm and the towns from which it operates will continue to thrive."
