Stones Management Team

Paul Keeling - Chief Executive

As Chief Executive, Paul's aim is to ensure Stones is enhancing service levels and developing a program that will ensure it is in the best position to continue to provide expert legal services in the long term and to build a stronger platform for growth when the economic upturn arrives

To achieve this aim Paul ensures staff are motivated and have a clear understanding of:

Clients' needs
The market in which they operate
The challenges they face
How they can help in meeting those challenges.

The Firm has a strong reputation for the quality of its advice in both the commercial and private client spheres and is fortunate to be based in geographical locations which are both expanding and in which it is a pleasure to live and work.

To build on the success of the Firm it is essential to keep abreast of changes in the fast moving legal environment by seizing opportunities quickly. In order to achieve this, Paul is supported by the Firm's Executive Committee in the implementation of the Firm's development plans.

Delivers its services to clients
