Four new appointments for immigration firm
Immigration law firm Paragon Law have recruited four new members to their legal team.
Nottingham Law School graduate Emily Bodden-Burton has been awarded the Paragon Law scholarship which means that she will be funded by the firm to complete a part-time two-year Masters programme in International Human Rights at the University of Nottingham while gaining practical work experience and training with Paragon.
Monica Kainja joins Paragon Law from Yorkshire firm Halliday Reeves and Stewart MacLachlan has moved to Nottingham having previously worked as a solicitor with the Legal Services Agency in Glasgow. Both join the firm’s human rights team working primarily with social services departments with regards to unaccompanied asylum seeking children and women who have been victims of trafficking and torture.
Wayne Cartlidge joins Paragon Law’s corporate immigration department to assist their clients in employing skilled foreign migrants and sponsorship compliance. After sustaining injuries in the armed forces, Wayne was funded by the army to complete his Certificate in Personnel Practice and then worked as a human resources manager with the British Armed Forces for nine years. He then held a similar role with Notts NHS Trust before working with Dell Inc as a senior immigration analyst for five years.
Thalej Vasishta, the firm’s managing director says that all the new members of the team will add value to the services that Paragon Law offer to their clients: “I am particularly delighted that after a period of an inertia, the firm is back on track to growth. We will be advertising further roles shortly both in our legal and support teams."
