Lamp Lunchtime With…Steven Mather

Lamp Lunchtime with… Steven Mather

On Friday 24 April 2026, we welcome Steven Mather to Chutney Ivy for the next Lamp Lunchtime with…

Steven is an award-winning solicitor who over two decades he has completed hundreds of deals worth tens of millions of pounds and advised business owners across the Midlands through some of the most significant moments of their professional lives.

He is now the author of Drafts, Disclaimers and Deaths, a sharp and darkly observed novel set in the legal world.

At this event, Steven will be in conversation with Martin Ballard for an honest and engaging one hour discussion covering three threads:
💡 His career in law and the realities of advising under pressure.
💡 The story behind writing and publishing his novel.
💡 His own health challenges and what they have taught him about resilience, balance and mental wellbeing.

There is no formal presentation. Just a proper conversation, followed by audience Q&A.

Steven is a wonderful supporter of Lamp and many other charities across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland and this is a wonderful opportunity to hear more about the man behind the man behind the legal success, the LinkedIn following and this great new book.
