New addition for IP department
Nelsons has expanded its intellectual property (IP) team in Nottingham to seven members after taking on Shelley Litchfield, who has a wealth of experience in non-contentious IP.
Shelley joins Nelsons growing IP team made up of Jim Carter, Karen Harrison, Stewart Vandermark, Nick McDonald, Emma Ward, and Laura Wright. Shelley started her career at Nelsons, where she trained and then qualified as a solicitor into the commercial and technology team in 2010.
She worked at Nelsons until May last year and then moved to Fraser Brown. She now returns to Nelsons, bringing with her experience in IT, IP, franchising and general commercial law.
Shelley says: “I’m looking forward to moving forward and progressing my career at Nelsons. It feels good to be back at Nelsons and I’m looking forward to the challenge of new cases and being very busy.”
Jim Carter who heads Nelsons’ commerce and technology team says: “We are delighted that Shelley has returned to Nelsons. She will help to strengthen the team further and to grow our IP and IT offering to clients all over the East Midlands.”
