Leicester office announces double appointment

East Midlands firm Nelsons has expanded the commercial property team with the double hire of Nathan Wescott and Sabiya Ajij in Leicester.

Nathan qualified as a solicitor in July 2019, after spending over three years as a paralegal and trainee with Sutton & Co Solicitors. He specialises in real estate transactions, focusing on investment acquisitions and disposals, corporate lettings, construction and development of commercial property.

Paralegal Sabiya, 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 Nelsons.

James Coningsby, the head of the commercial property department in Leicester, said: ‘We are delighted to welcome Nathan and Sabiya to our team. I’m looking forward to working alongside them as we continue to develop and expand our busy department.’
