“I am delighted to have joined Schofield Sweeney. The commercial property team’s reputation, and the firm’s position in the market is strong. I am looking forward to contributing to that in my new role as a partner. My personal focus throughout my career has been to deliver value for my clients by providing high quality and commercially focussed legal advice to property investors, developers and occupiers in Yorkshire and further afield – there is a massive synergy between that, and the firm’s core values which I am really excited about.” Tom Jackson, partner.
