New partner for Leicester law firm

L-R Chris Rees and Stewart Vandermark

Law firm Nelsons has added to its corporate services and Leicester-based team with the re-appointment of a former partner.

Chris Rees originally joined Nelsons as a trainee in 1998 before becoming a partner in 2005. After leaving the law firm for Howes Percival in 2014, he has now returned to Nelsons as a partner based in the Leicester office in New Walk.

He said: “As a leading law firm in the East Midlands, Nelsons is renowned for the quality of its work and its forward-thinking approach. I am absolutely delighted to be returning to help develop the corporate services offering in Leicester, as well as across the whole of the East Midlands.

“My return to Nelsons is the right move for me – I see myself and the business as a perfect fit.”

Stewart Vandermark, chief executive at Nelsons, said: “We are delighted to welcome Chris back to our team. One of Chris’ main objectives in his role is to grow our corporate services offering with a specific focus on the development of our Leicester office.

“Chris coming back to the business is like welcoming back an old friend. He will be able to look at our business with an outsider perspective, which in turn will assist in our ongoing evolution and development. He re-joins at an exciting time as we are developing ambitious plans for the future and I am sure he will play a key role in helping us achieve them.”
