Tim Richards joins the real estate team

12th June 2025

We have further enhanced our real estate expertise with the appointment of new partner Tim Richards to the 40-strong team.

Tim brings with him a wealth of commercial real estate experience, including advising end-to-end on major land and property sales, leaseback, purchase and development funding agreements, as well as property portfolio management and public sector premises letting agreements.

He joins us from a Cheshire-based commercial property law firm, where he supported the establishment of a new office in Yorkshire and led the transaction team there.

Tim is the fifth new appointment to our  real estate team in recent months, making the team one of the largest and most experienced in the region. It also boasts specialist expertise in niche areas such as biodiversity net gain (BNG) and Islamic finance.

“I’m delighted to be joining this dynamic and diverse real estate team – and one which also has such a strong focus on customer satisfaction and providing advanced technical support. 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 Richards, partner

“We pride ourselves on being named one of the Sunday Times Best Places to Work, as well as a Times Best Law Firm, and it’s always a pleasure to welcome another committed and highly skilled legal expert into the Schofield Sweeney fold. With his record for delivering on highly complex projects and attracting several key client wins, I know Tim will be  a huge asset to the real estate team and the company as a whole.” Manjit Virdee, partner
