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.”
