East Midlands-based law firm Nelsons has welcomed a new senior associate and solicitor specialising in commerce and technology to its Nottingham office as part of its continued growth.
Sarah Eley specialises in advising on commercial agreements, data protection and e-commerce terms and brings a wealth of expertise having advised organisations on these matters throughout her career.
With more than six years’ experience, Sarah started her career with Mills & Reeve LLP before qualifying in 2016. She then moved to work in-house for Derby City Council in 2020.
She said: 'Nelsons has a great reputation for its culture and for the service it provides to clients. They also have key values which align with my own, so this was the ideal next step in my career. My colleagues have made both my guide dog, Berry, and I feel incredibly welcome. In fact, Berry has already amassed a substantial fan club.
'I’m looking forward to being involved in business development and continuing to help as many clients as possible to achieve their objectives and exceed their expectations.'
Sarah will work alongside partner and solicitor Emma Toes who heads the intellectual property team at Nelsons.
Emma said: 'Having robust agreements and contracts is vital for any business and we’re thrilled that Sarah has joined us to strengthen the commercial services that we offer to organisations throughout the East Midlands.
'Sarah’s expertise and skillset, advising on commercial agreements and non-contentious intellectual property matters, links closely with the work that I do, so we’ll be working closely together to provide a comprehensive service. I am looking forward to seeing Sarah flourish in her new role.'
