Traditum Private Equity bolsters its ranks with two senior hires

Leeds-headquartered Traditum Private Equity has hired two private client advisers to expand its services and help drive its growth across the region.

Trevor Sherlock and George Lyall have worked alongside each other for almost 30 years, with Sherlock leading the tax team at EY in Newcastle, whilst Lyall was a partner at Womble Bond Dickinson in the city.

The firm said the two have advised some of the region’s leading business people and high-net worth individuals on tax strategies and succession planning, and played a key role in building their respective firms, with EY’s Newcastle tax team becoming the largest outside London and Womble Bond Dickinson the city’s largest law firm and one of the UK’s top private client practices.

At Traditum, the pair will continue to advise private clients and family offices while helping to build its network in the North.

Sherlock, who joins as head of Client Services, has been listed in Spears Magazine as one of the UK’s leading tax advisors. At EY he was also head of Private Clients for its UK financial services practice and managing partner of the national personal tax centre.

Lyall, who will be director of Client Services, has over 40 years’ experience in advising high-net worth individuals alongside their private and charitable trusts, with a particular expertise in capital tax planning.

David Mitchell, Traditum CEO, said: “Expanding into the North East has been a key strategic goal for Traditum. It’s great to have two such highly regarded professionals with a long-standing track record in the region come on board.

“Trevor and George have played a key role in driving the growth of their previous firms and we look forward to working with them to expand Traditum’s network.”
