Mr Zaman has spent eight years in LCF Law’s personal law team, based in the firm’s Bradford office, where he specialises in wills and probate. He is also responsible for training and mentoring LCF Law’s trainee solicitors and plays an active and successful role in business development.

A spokesman said: “Both Jennifer and Patricia, who are based in LCF Law’s Bradford and Leeds offices respectively, joined the firm as trainees and progressed through the LCF Law Career Pathway programme. In 2014 Jennifer joined the firm’s conveyancing division, LCF Residential, and was offered a training contract in 2015. Once qualified, she worked in the real estate team before moving into personal law in 2019. Patricia joined LCF Law as a trainee in 2017 and qualified in 2019, when she joined the firm’s corporate team, where she now predominantly works with businesses and charities.”
