Partner returns to Nottingham firm
A construction partner has returned to Nottingham’s Nelsons Solicitors after starting her career at the firm as a paralegal 16 years ago.
Danielle Cafferkey began her career at Nelsons in 1999, working in the firm’s commercial litigation and civil liberties teams. She left in 2002 as a trainee solicitor in the construction team and spent several years working at Browne Jacobson.
She then moved to Shepherd Group in York where she was a director, building up a strong and extensive knowledge of construction law and the industry.
At Shepherd Group Danielle worked on multi million pound projects nationally and in a variety of sectors, from industrial, commercial, mixed use developments, hospitals, colleges, universities, schools and retail. She then spent several years at Flint Bishop as a partner, where she grew her team to four people.
Danielle says: “I’m thrilled to have come full circle, returning to the place where I started my career. Nelsons has always been an extremely forward thinking, exciting and dynamic business with a reputation for change, which is one of the key reasons why I decided to come back.
“Having spent over seven years at Shepherd Group I know exactly how the client thinks and exactly what they are looking for from their law firm of choice. Because I have worked for a reputable contractor on such a diversity of projects my industry knowledge is very detailed and I hope this experience will bring an additional dimension to the existing team at Nelsons and what I am able to offer our clients.”
Chief executive at Nelsons Tim Hastings adds that he is delighted to welcome Danielle back to the firm: “We are very pleased that Danielle has returned to Nelsons, where she started her career. She returns with a wealth of sector specific knowledge which will certainly benefit our clients and will help to develop our construction offering further for both new and existing cases.”
