We have strengthened our Commercial Property team with the appointment of two new experts.
Solicitor Nathan Wescott and paralegal Sabiya Ajij have joined our Leicester office. Nathan qualified as a solicitor in July 2019 after spending more than three years as a paralegal and trainee solicitor at Sutton & Co. Solicitors, in Sutton Coldfield. He said:
“Nelsons has an excellent reputation and I am really looking forward to working with a great team who truly care about giving their clients a voice. I’m new to Leicester so I’m excited to get to know the city, especially as part of a firm that has a well-respected commercial property department that’s continuing to expand.
“Commercial property is a fascinating area of law as you’re helping to transform a city. Completing a transaction is really rewarding as it allows your clients to begin working on what they’d set out to do – whether that’s opening the neighbourhood’s latest coffee shop or building the city’s newest development.”
Sabiya – who is a graduate member of the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives – spent three years in the legal department at Cambridge & Counties Bank, in Leicester, before joining us. She said:
“I’ve wanted to work for Nelsons since completing my law degree at De Montfort University. It’s a well-known and renowned law firm and I’m proud to say that I’m now an employee here. I’m looking forward to growing my legal expertise. Nelsons is a really nurturing law firm, so it seems like the perfect place to hone my knowledge and develop my career.”
James Coningsby, who leads our Commercial Property department in Leicester, added:
“We are delighted to welcome Nathan Wescott and Sabiya Ajij to our team. I’m looking forward to working alongside them as we continue to develop and expand our busy department.”
