Stephenson Harwood (SH) has confirmed that the firm is in the process of making 14 lawyers and 20 support staff redundant in the wake of the firm’s takeover of Sinclair Roche & Temperley (SRT).

“We have made no secret of the fact that we are making cuts,” SH chief executive John Pike told Legal Week. “We are only making 14 lawyers redundant. Other firms are making cuts and they have not just gone through a merger.”
