Ward Hadaway in Leeds has appointed Suzanne Jaconelli to its private client team.
Jaconelli is a specialist solicitor who provides legal support and guidance in complex and high-value estate and succession planning matters. Her areas of expertise include wills, trusts, inheritance tax, powers of attorney and cross-border considerations.
Having qualified in 2002 with six years of private client experience, Jaconelli brings a wealth of knowledge and insight to the private client team at Ward Hadaway.
As well as her legal experience, Jaconelli has spent nearly a decade running her own successful business and understands the challenges private wealth clients face in managing their enterprises.
Her unique background and commercial acumen will significantly contribute to the team’s strategic growth and development, according to Ward Hadaway.
Andrew Facer, partner and head of the private client team, said: “Suzanne’s appointment marks an exciting addition to our growing private client team.
“Her extensive experience and expertise in private wealth matters will greatly benefit our clients and strengthen our service offering. Suzanne’s experience both legally and commercially fits perfectly with our growth strategy, and we are thrilled to have her on board.”
Ward Hadaway’s private client team has experienced continued growth in recent years, with Jaconelli’s appointment following the addition of Vivienne Wild, who joined last summer as a partner.
Commenting on her appointment, Jaconelli said: “I wanted to join Ward Hadaway because the firm truly stands out head and shoulders above the rest in terms of its expertise and culture.
“The organisation’s commitment to providing ample opportunities for training and growth, along with its focus on creating a supportive and healthy work environment, made me feel confident that the firm genuinely cares about my personal and professional development.”
“There is a different energy about Ward Hadaway, and it is evident that everyone genuinely enjoys their job. I am excited to be part of such a dynamic and forward-thinking organisation.”
