West Midlands law firm Lodders has appointed former Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce president Steve Allen as a board adviser to accelerate the firm’s growth in Birmingham. 

As the former head of office of Mills & Reeve in Birmingham, Steve has a strong legal background and as a former President of the Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce, has a wealth of connections in the region.

Currently chair of the Your City & Metropolitan Hospitals Charity, he is also a trustee of Aston University STEM Education Academy Trust and Aston University Mathematics School. 

At Lodders, in addition to advising on strategy, Steve will take on an ambassadorial role, working with the firm’s Birmingham-focused partners including Graham Spalding and Bradley Quin (corporate), Andrew Wylde (dispute resolution), Vivienne Middleton (family), and Stuart Price (commercial) to turbo charge Lodders’ growth. 

Steve said: “I’m delighted to be joining the team at Lodders at such an exciting time in the firm’s development.

“Lodders has an ambitious growth agenda led by a dynamic and collaborative leadership team underpinned by specialist legal teams. I look forward to working with the partners in delivering a progressive strategy that will further enhance the firm’s reputation for providing high quality legal advice to its clients.”

Lodders’ managing partner Paul Mourton added: “Steve is incredibly well connected and widely respected in the legal sector and beyond.

“Not only this, but his values align closely with those of Lodders, particularly in recognising the importance of attracting top-tier talent and high-quality clients.

“We look forward to working with him as we build a long-term and sustainable presence in Birmingham.”
