Schofield Sweeney strengthens real estate team

Yorkshire law firm Schofield Sweeney has appointed Tim Richards as a new partner in its growing real estate team.

“I’m also excited to bring my own expertise to the table and play a proactive role in Schofield Sweeney’s continued drive to promote growth and professional excellence.”

Tim is the fifth addition to Schofield Sweeney’s real estate team recently, which now ranks among the largest in the region with boasts specialist expertise in niche areas such as biodiversity net gain, Islamic finance and the energy sector.

The firm operates from Bradford, Leeds, and Huddersfield with a 175-strong workforce and over 25 years’ experience serving commercial clients.

Manjit Virdee, partner and head of the real estate team, added: “We pride ourselves on being named one of the Sunday Times Best Places to Work, as well as a Times Best Law Firm.
