We are a *knowledge business

Tom Pemberton joins Lawrence Stephens as a Director in its growing Construction and Development Finance team.

Formerly a Partner at Goodman Derrick LLP, Tom Pemberton has over 25 years of experience advising on all stages of the procurement and execution of a wide variety of building, engineering and infrastructure projects in the UK and abroad, including projects of national importance.
