Lawyer celebrates 60 years at firm

A former senior partner of Stephens Scown LLP recently celebrated 60 years with the firm. Ian Waite, 83, has spent his entire legal career with the firm and helped it become the success it is today. Joining Stephens Scown in Cornwall in 1953 as an articled clerk, Ian moved from London to learn the ropes and become a qualified solicitor. His father paid the princely sum of £300 so that he received this training. Ian retired from the partnership in January 1991 and now acts as consultant within the planning team.
