Jeremy Weaver

Property law firm Brady Solicitors has recruited experienced property litigation specialist, Jeremy Weaver, as head of litigation.

Weaver brings more than 17 years’ specialist property and commercial litigation experience to the Nottingham-based law firm, including five years as head of the litigation disputes team and most recently as head of operations at SLC Solicitors in Shrewsbury.

Weaver said: “I have followed Brady Solicitors’ growth trajectory over the past few years. It is clear it is an ambitious, well-run, go-ahead firm that offers considerable opportunities, both personally and professionally. Leasehold law has been my focus since 2014 and I am now looking to work with a specialist, well-established litigation team – Brady Solicitors is an ideal match.”

Founder and managing director of Brady Solicitors, Clare Brady, added: “Jeremy is a highly experienced property litigation specialist and a significant hire for the firm. He brings substantial experience in resolving disputes and a thorough understanding of the leasehold sector and the leaseholder / managing agent dynamic. His level-headed, commercially minded and pragmatic approach and ability to deliver calm and sensible advice means he truly is a safe pair of hands.

“I am glad we had the rare opportunity to recruit a property management litigation specialist of Jeremy’s calibre. His expertise will add significant value to the client experience.”

Tom Evans

A student who completed work experience at Wildgoose Construction has been offered the opportunity to become a Management Trainee after completing his college course.

Tom Evans, 18, impressed bosses at Wildgoose Construction so much that they decided to offer him a role within the company.

The teenager is currently studying for a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Construction in the Built Environment at Chesterfield College.

During his work experience at Wildgoose Construction, based in Alfreton, he was given the opportunity to see all areas of the business. He spent time with the marketing team, buying team, quantity surveyors and estimators. He also visited two recently completed builds including Swadlincote Fire Station and a £3m industrial development in Burton for Ischebeck Titan.

Evans said he was delighted to have been offered the management trainee role.

He said: “I reached out to many different local companies, none of whom I heard back from except from Wildgoose who instantly came back to me offering me a placement for 70 hours of work experience.

“Overall, I really enjoyed my work experience at Wildgoose as it gave me a wide understanding of how the industry works and how a construction company works together through all the different roles.”
