Schofield Sweeney has welcomed Kanika Sohpal back to its private wealth and succession team.
Sohpal returns to the Leeds-, Bradford- and Huddersfield-based firm after three years at Clarion.
Her expertise is in wealth protection and succession planning, with a particular focus on acting for business owners and high net worth individuals in order to protect a client’s wealth for them and their family.
Sohpal’s expertise also extends to dealing with the administration of high value and complex estates, particularly those with foreign assets and cross-border issues.
Commenting on her return to Schofield Sweeney, Sohpal said: “I am delighted to return to Schofield Sweeney as a partner. Schofield Sweeney has always had a great reputation in the market as one of the leading providers of legal services for business clients and high net worth individuals.”
“I am joining the firm at an exciting time of growth and expansion, which is unusual for many firms in this strange and uncertain period. This is a testament to the firm’s strong position during this time and its determination to continue to deliver clear legal advice and outstanding client service.”
John Feaster, partner at Schofield Sweeney, said: “I am delighted to welcome Kanika back to our team. Kanika is a fantastic addition to our private wealth and succession offering, a lawyer of the highest calibre joining our dynamic team at a time of significant opportunity and growth.”
