Stephenson Harwood chief executive Eifion Morris has been named in The Lawyer's Hot 100 2021 list.

The Hot 100 is a celebration of extraordinary lawyers and legal professionals who have demonstrated excellence in the last year, and who, through their efforts, are making the legal profession more sophisticated, innovative, diverse and fair.

As observed in The Lawyer, Morris’ “easy-going demeanour matched with hard-working grit makes him a modern-day boss for a traditional firm”. It cites his first year as CEO as a “whirlwind” in which he has “shown bravery in trying to do things differently,” and applauds his desire to create a more modern firm.   

Morris joined Stephenson Harwood as a partner in 2008. He spent ten years helping to build the firm’s highly regarded intellectual property practice before being appointed CEO in 2019.
