Steve Cornforth Consultancy
Housing Law, Practice and Procedure and Costs
About me – I was a practicing solicitor from 1980 – 2017. I was Senior Partner of an established Liverpool firm. In 2017 I set up the Steve Cornforth Consultancy. I now provide training and consultancy to lawyers, mainly in housing cases but also in procedure and costs. From July 2024 I am officially a former solicitor! I may be out of practice but am as busy as ever.
What was once, and still is, my blog page is now the main web page for the Steve Cornforth Consultancy
This is where I will be posting news about new events, updates and of course still ranting after all these years!
