Aanchal Sharma is a Partner at Schneider Smeltz Spieth Bell LLP. Her multifaceted practice combines business and commercial litigation with real estate disputes and trust and estate litigation. She regularly handles contract disputes, business tort claims, and commercial real estate disputes.

These practice areas also make her uniquely suited in the more specialized area of trust, estate and probate litigation, often involving corporate or financial institutions as fiduciaries. In this area, she has experience in fiduciary litigation, during which she often assists in the prosecution and defense of clients involved in trust and estate matters. She regularly represents clients involved in actions for breach of fiduciary duty, accounting, Will and trust construction, Will contests, undue influence, fraudulent conveyance, claims against estates, and claims involving guardianship.

In her commercial real estate practice, she often represents financial institutions–including banks, credit unions, publicly traded and government-sponsored enterprises, private lenders, non-profit organizations, loan servicing organizations, mortgage lenders and construction professionals–involved in commercial real estate lending disputes and litigation.

She prides herself on working with clients to find solutions to complex legal problems by examining various dispute resolution options, whether by mediation, arbitration, trial, or settlement. She briefs her clients on all available options, risks, and benefits to ensure that they feel comfortable and in control during legal proceedings.

Ms. Sharma received her J.D. from Case Western Reserve University School of Law, graduating in 2010. She earned a B.A. in Political Science and Sociology in 2007 from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.
