Stephen Ward lived near Brighton and by his own admission did not achieve great things at school. He found work on a building site and the owner of the site who was a barrister was sufficiently impressed to invite him to become a barristers' clerk. At the age of 16 with his first suit and a pink tie Stephen Ward became a junior clerk at 2 Crown Office Row in the Temple, London. At the age of 25, Stephen was one of the youngest senior clerks in the UK after 10 years' experience in the Temple and Grays Inn, London. He is now the Managing Director of Clerksroom and manages a team of 20 clerks and oversees the worldwide operations of Clerksroom.
