Dispute resolution partner joins in Leicester

Leicester-based firm Nelsons has welcomed dispute resolution partner Andy Rudkin to the team.

Joining from Burton upon Trent’s Else Solicitors, where he was a partner and head of the dispute resolution department, Andy specialises in commercial and property litigation including boundary disputes and commercial contract disputes, and regularly advises on all areas of corporate and personal insolvency litigation.

Andy said: ‘I am thrilled to have joined Nelsons—it is a large and respected regional law firm with a national presence and a forward-thinking partnership. Starting a new job in the midst of a pandemic could’ve been a challenge, especially while working from home, but Nelsons has ensured its employees have all the necessary technology to enable agile and secure working—allowing us to quickly and easily engage with and service clients remotely.’

Cathryn Selby, head of Nelsons’ dispute resolution team, said: ‘We’re delighted to welcome Andy to Nelsons and to our growing team. His expertise has added breadth to the department, and I know he will be a real asset to our Leicester team. I am looking forward to seeing him flourish in his new role.’
