Further growth sees new hire for Stone King in Leeds

Stephanie Armstrong has joined Stone King’s top-ranked education team as a Solicitor in the Leeds office.

With previous experience acting predominantly for children and young people with special educational needs, Stephanie will work in the operational team within the firm’s education sector.

Tom Morrison, who oversees Stone King’s Education Team in the North and is Joint Head of Education Sector nationally together with fellow Partner Jean Boyle, said: “It’s great to have Stephanie joining our education team as we continue to support our growing number of clients in the North as well as nationally.

“Stephanie’s experience of assisting children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities in ensuring their legal entitlements are met aligns closely with an important pillar of our team’s work at Stone King.”
