On the move: the latest East Midlands hires
Law firm Shakespeare Martineau has bolstered its Nottingham office with the appointment of a family law partner.
Caroline Elliott, who was previously at Nelsons Solicitors, has joined the firm.
Specialising in advising clients in relation to divorce and financial settlements, post and pre-nuptial agreements, Elliot, who has returned to Nottingham after an 18 month spell in Leicester, has over 24 years’ experience in family disputes including those between unmarried couples and those with substantial assets.
Duncan James, Shakespeare Martineau business partner in Nottingham, said: “It is terrific that Caroline is joining the firm at such an exciting time. The need for family law advice has never been more important for companies and businesses, whether within the family unit or in respect of succession planning. Caroline will have a big impact in helping all of our clients over the future months and years.”
Alex Smith, partner at Shakespeare Martineau’s Nottingham office, added: “It’s great for clients and colleagues alike to see us attracting and recruiting further highly regarded and talented partners. Caroline’s appointment is one of many that the firm is proceeding with and continues our drive for growth across our sites.”
Independent financial services broker Midlands Asset Finance has appointed four new members of staff.

Jogia was previously at RBS for 13 years, most recently as a senior relationship manager in the real estate team, while Keast comes following two years working with the Co-Op Bank as a commercial manager. Prior to that, he worked at RBS for seven years as a relationship manager.
Jack Naylor has joined the business as an account manager, to help support the broker’s upcoming online division to be launched in the new year. The fourth appointment, Nathan Whitmore, has taken the position of sales support apprentice, following an NVQ in business administration through the broker’s apprenticeship scheme.
