Tyler Hoffman LTD
Tyler Hoffman Solicitors, operating as Tyler Hoffman Ltd and regulated by the SRA, is based at 15 Cheapside, Wakefield, WF1 2SD. The firm positions itself as a departing from the “conveyor-belt” model of legal practice, instead offering a bespoke, personalised service across all areas of law.

It was established by Akef Akbar, who qualified as a solicitor at age 23, practised in Halifax and York for two years, and founded the firm at the age of 25. Since formation, it has grown into a multi-office practice with Wakefield and Halifax locations, a team of around 21–23 staff, and a turnover reportedly exceeding £1.7 million.
Akef Akbar has gained recognition for his leadership and legal expertise, earning the Entrepreneur of the Year award at the 2019 Wakefield Excellence Awards, and nominations at the Yorkshire Legal Awards.
