Fladgate has re elected Grant Gordon (pictured) as managing partner for a third term, effective 1 April 2026, and appointed former Dentons chief operating officer Darran Stevenson as its new chief operating officer. The move comes as the firm strengthens its leadership team for its next phase of growth.
Under Gordon’s leadership, revenues have grown by almost 100% since 2021 and PEP has surpassed £1m, with more than 40 lateral partners recruited and headcount expanding to over 400 people. David Robinson and Ella Leonard have been re-elected as heads of corporate and funds, finance & regulatory, while Matthew Williams has been newly elected as head of real estate. John Evans continues as head of dispute resolution following his re-election last year.
Gordon said: ‘I’m delighted to continue leading the firm alongside a senior management team of exceptional quality,’ adding that Stevenson’s arrival ‘marks an important transition for the firm’ and that his experience ‘will be invaluable as we continue building a resilient, ambitious, client focused business.’
He added: ‘Our re elected and newly appointed leaders bring the right mix of continuity, experience and innovation,’ saying the firm is ‘well positioned to deliver on our strategic priorities while ensuring our culture remains one of Fladgate’s strongest assets.’
