About me
In 2019, Satpal transitioned to the Bar, combining her skills and experiences gained as a solicitor and practice owner. Her background provides a unique understanding of financial businesses and client needs.
Satpal practiced as a Regulatory Solicitor at a large Yorkshire based law firm acting for many high-profile corporate clients including one of the large four supermarket chains. Satpal went on to run her own practice from 2010 onwards, specialising in regulatory crime. Her practice became a regional award-winning law firm and was branded as one of the market leaders in crime and regulatory.
When running her own practice, Satpal held some director roles at the Leeds Law Society and also chairs the small firms' division at the Law Society. She was also recognised as a "rising star" at the Yorkshire Legal Awards in 2013 and also awarded "Woman's Solicitor" of the Year at the Law Society in 2012. In 2018, she was short-listed at the Yorkshire Legal Awards for Yorkshire Regulatory Lawyer of the Year.
