Meet Alice, CEO and founder of Stephenson Law, an alternative law firm who make legal service more human and less corporate. Alice is CrossFit mad and a super mum of three kids!

What do Stephenson Law do?
We support a range of businesses (from start-ups to large corporates) with their commercial and IT contracts, data protection and intellectual property queries and company/corporate matters.
 
How long have you been coming to DeskLodge?
We joined DL in Jan 2018 and were here until the end of March 2018, when we moved into the Natwest accelerator. We then came back to Desklodge at the beginning of Jan 2019 with a team twice the size!
 
What’s your favourite thing about your job?
My lovely team and clients! I’m so lucky to be able to work with some really great people. I also find it really rewarding to work with business owners to solve their problems and achieve their goals.
 
What is your favourite thing about DeskLodge?
It’s a fun place to work and completely fits in with our aim to deliver legal services in a non-corporate way. As a small business, it’s also great to be part of a community of like-minded businesses.
 
What do you do in your spare time?
I’m CrossFit mad and train 3-4 times a week. I’m currently taking part in the CrossFit Open, which is the first stage of the CrossFit Games. I also have 3 children so spend a lot of my spare time managing their social lives.
 
What did you want to be when you grew up?
I think I’m still figuring this one out! I wanted to be a doctor for a while, but then I did some work experience in a hospital and that completely put me off. Before that I wanted to be a horse-riding instructor and at one point I wanted to be in the army. That was a terrible idea; I do not like being told what to do!

Thanks Alice, good luck with the CrossFit Games!
