Excello Law is delighted to welcome Stephen Morrall as its newest partner, a highly experienced corporate and commercial solicitor with a career spanning both industry and private practice.
Stephen has built a long and varied career across in-house and private practice roles. He is a trusted adviser to UK and overseas entrepreneurs, private companies, charities, partnerships, unincorporated associations, landed estates and their directors and trustees, on the full range of corporate and business issues they face.
A fluent German speaker, Stephen also acts for companies from the DACH region entering the UK market and doing business here, a specialism that fits closely with Excello’s own growing ambitions in the region.
Strengthening Excello’s Anglo-German arm
With Stephen’s arrival, Excello now looks to build out its Anglo-German capability alongside long-standing Excello Law partner Gitta Altmann, bringing together two experienced, German-speaking corporate lawyers able to support clients moving between the UK and German-speaking markets.
Driven by Stephen’s own connections in the DACH region, Excello Law will be joining the WIRAS Verbund, an international network of German-speaking lawyers, tax advisers and auditors with member firms across more than 40 countries. The future link with the network will give clients with interests in Germany, Austria and Switzerland access to a wider group of local advisers across Europe.
Jo Losty, COO of Excello Law, commented:
“Stephen brings exactly the calibre of experience and the international connections we look for at Excello. It’s his relationships in the DACH region that have opened up an early conversation with the WIRAS Verbund network, and that’s a real example of how our consultant lawyers actively shape the direction of this firm. Alongside Gitta Altmann’s long-standing work in the region, Stephen gives us a genuine Anglo-German capability that our clients on both sides of the Channel will benefit from.”
Stephen Morrall commented:
“Excello is a City firm with a genuinely full service practice and a growing network of domestic and foreign offices, giving its consultant lawyers a stable platform to build and shape their own practice. I am excited to be joining at such a pivotal moment for the firm’s international ambitions, and to help drive its Anglo-German team forward, connecting British and DACH businesses and establishing a link with the WIRAS Verbund network to strengthen our offering to clients on both sides.”
