Professional Paralegal Register—Stephen Rippingale-Peters

PPR appoints new board member
The Professional Paralegal Register (PPR) has announced that the board has appointed a new board member, Stephen Rippingale-Peters, to join the Register’s Regulatory Committee (RRC).

Stephen joins the RRC with over 28 years’ experience working in the legal sector and is a professional paralegal who runs his own businesses specialising in complex investigation on a variety of subject matters both in the UK and overseas. He was the first investigator in a scheme to assist victims of fraud, being piloted by the Home Office and police, and was engaged over an extended period in the identification of personal assets of a director following the collapse of a major listed company. Most recently Stephen was responsible for compliance planning and strategy in his role as COFA at a law firm.

He is a Fellow of the Institute of Paralegals and is registered in Tier 4 on the Professional Paralegal Register.

On his appointment Stephen said: ‘I am delighted to have the opportunity to join the Board of the RRC and I look forward to contributing to the important work of the Board in promoting professional paralegals and building trust and consumer confidence in line with the aims of the Professional Paralegal Register.’

Amanda Lee, chair of the RRC, commented: ‘I am delighted to welcome Stephen to the RRC. His knowledge and experience will allow him to make a valuable contribution from the outset. I look forward to working with him as we continue to uphold the high standards set by the PPR to protect consumers.’
