“I look forward to working on new cases and supporting the firm’s continued success.”
Schofield Sweeney has also strengthened its leadership team with the appointment of Alison Hill as finance director and Steve Crow as business development director.
Mr Crow brings more than 35 years of experience in professional services, having worked at firms including Clarion, PwC and Deloitte.
He said: “I’m delighted to be part of Schofield Sweeney and look forward to building strong relationships with our clients.
“My experience in professional services has shown me the importance of driving strategy and development in conjunction with leadership and culture – something which is extremely important to everyone at the firm.
“I’m looking forward to helping accelerate the business and acting as a practical and commercial sounding board to clients.”
In line with its growth strategy, Schofield Sweeney has also appointed four solicitors across its litigation, commercial services, regulatory and real estate departments.
