Every month we will be featuring an interview with one of our
connections from the legal world and beyond. This month we have
Steve Cornforth, Senior Partner of EAD Solicitors and recently
elected President of the Liverpool Law
Society.
What does your Twitter profile say about you?
President of Liverpool Law Society, Senior Partner EAD,
Everton Fan!
Which 3 words best describe EAD Solicitors?
Modern, Imaginative, Relevant.
Congratulations on being elected as Chairman of Liverpool
Law Society. What does the post mean to you?
Being President of Liverpool Law Society is source of
great pride especially as I was employed by the society when I
worked at the Vauxhall Law Centre. Liverpool is the most active and
influential regional Law Society. I see this as an opportunity to
represent our members and to be a voice on my main topic in
interest - Access to Justice.
Who's been the biggest professional influence on your
career, and why?
Lots of influences but main one - Mr Justice Hedley
(formerly barrister).
What's the best advice you could give a young, ambitious
solicitor at the start of their legal career?
Don't do it!! (joke) - set your goals and go for it. There
will be difficulties ahead but you are not alone and you will get
there.
What did you do last night and what will you be doing
today?
Quiet party at home with family members who have descended
from across the country and today I will be
recovering!
