York-based firm Roche Legal has announced the appointment of senior solicitor Haroon Qayum.
Yorkshire born and bred, Qayum joins from LCF Law in Harrogate, where he was previously a partner. He’ll bring his expertise in succession planning to the award-winning team.
Qayum, a specialist in advising family business owners, is excited about the new role. He commented, “I believe this is an ideal moment to join Roche Legal. Over 80% of British businesses are family businesses, and these range from small businesses to multi-million-pound operations. I specialise in advice for family business owners.”
In addition to his expertise in family business succession, Qayum has significant experience in cross-border estate planning. His extensive network of trusted lawyers in overseas jurisdictions allows him to effectively manage and structure complex estates for clients with international assets.
Roche Legal owner Rachel Roche said, “We are delighted to be adding Haroon’s expertise in succession planning for family businesses and cross border estates to our team and he brings an impressive skills set.”
Gary Lumby MBE, CEO of Roche Legal, added, “I am delighted that Haroon has agreed to join us at an important time in the company as we increase investment in people, marketing and technology to continue our high growth journey”.
