Aticus Law expands offering by appointing new Head of Wills, Trusts and Probate

Legal heavyweight Safia Iftikhar brings national experience to the role

Leading Northwest law firm Aticus Law has boosted its private client services offering in the region with the appointment of Safia Iftikhar as its new Head of Wills, Trusts and Probate.

Bringing years of experience to the role, Safia joins from Simpson Millar, having previously progressed through the ranks of multiple nationally accredited law firms.

A specialist in Private client legal services – Wills, Lasting Power of Attorney and Probate – she has helped hundreds of clients with their future planning. She has dealt with a national client base, managing offices within Greater Manchester, Cheshire and Merseyside.

She will now lead Aticus’ strong wills, trust and probate team, operating out of its offices in Wilmslow and Manchester.

Aticus has a forward-thinking approach to delivering its services online so that people can continue to access the support they need when they need it.

Safia, who enjoys travelling, sightseeing, trying out new cuisine, reading, yoga and baking in her spare time, said: “I am thrilled to be joining the Aticus team following what has been an extremely busy period for the firm.

“The team has a fantastic reputation across the North West, and I’m looking forward to further building on that in the months ahead.”

Aticus Co-founder and Partner, Edward Judge, added: “We could not be more pleased to welcome Safia to the team.

“Not only does she have a wealth of experience and expertise that will truly enhance the existing Wills, Trusts and Probate offering here at Aticus, but she is also extremely motivated and passionate about helping people.

“Her arrival at the firm truly complements our wider private client offering.”
