Changes at top of Harrogate law firm after FA appointment
Stephen Hopwood (pictured), a specialist in family law, succeeds Peter McCormick, who will remain as a senior partner at law firm McCormicks. Mr McCormick has been made interim chairman of the Football Association.
Harrogate law firm McCormicks has named a new managing partner after its founder took on the role of chairman at the Football Association.
Stephen Hopwood, a specialist in family law, has succeeded Peter McCormick, who will remain as a senior partner.
The FA named Peter McCormick as its interim chairman after Greg Clarke, who described black players as "coloured", stepped down from the role.
McCormicks, which is based on East Parade, describes itself as a ‘fearless law firm with a fearless reputation’.
Mr McCormick said:
"As a result of both the covid lockdown and of my increased commitments since I was appointed interim chairman of the FA in November, Stephen has taken a lot of responsibility for the day-to-day management of the business so this is a logical transition of duties for the future.
"I remain senior partner and will continue to play a very active role in the business of the firm, alongside my commitments to the Premier League and the FA.”

"I am delighted to be expanding my role with the practice and look forward to working even more closely with the great team we have here to ensure we continue to offer the best possible service to our clients."
