The firm’s commercial property team has been joined by Simon Hellewell, partner and
Diana Ciurdar, solicitor.

 

Schofield Sweeney’s investment is part of its growth strategy to meet the increased demand
in the property market.

 

“The commercial property team continues to see genuine growth and our pipeline of high-
value work remains very strong. The property market is buoyant, and we have seen a
significant increase in development, healthcare and investment transactional work.
It is important as a firm that we have the right people to meet our clients’ needs. At a time
when there is high demand for high-quality lawyers, I am delighted to welcome Simon and
Diana to the team; they will join Tom Jackson, who joined us earlier this year from Walker
Morris.” Manjit Virdee, partner, Schofield Sweeney

 

Simon joins the firm from Ward Hadaway where he had been a partner for over 5 years. He
brings over 25 years’ experience in acting for developers, property investors and retailers.

 

“I am excited to be joining Schofield Sweeney as part of its Commercial Property team. The
team has an excellent reputation for straightforward, responsive advice to a strong client
base across the region and nationally. I am looking forward to being part of such a dynamic
and enthusiastic team.” Simon Hellewell, partner, Schofield Sweeney

 

Diana advises clients on disposals, acquisitions, landlord and tenant matters and real estate
finance.

 

“The firm has an outstanding reputation for putting clients at the centre and offering
invaluable legal services, whilst also providing a forward-thinking, diverse and inclusive
working environment. This sets it apart from other firms. I look forward to a long and
successful association with Schofield Sweeney” Diana Ciurdar, solicitor, Schofield Sweeney
