People: Nelsons; Browne Jacobson
Law firm Nelsons has added to its wills and probate team in Nottingham – after welcoming a new associate and solicitor.
Tom Newton qualified as a solicitor in September 2020 and joins Nelsons after working at Astle Paterson in Burton-on-Trent both during and after his time at university. He specialises in all areas of wills and probate, including administration of estates and powers of attorney.
He said: “I am thrilled to have joined the team at Nelsons – it’s an innovative and ambitious firm that puts its clients at the heart of everything it does. This is incredibly important for all departments but particularly wills and probate as we help and support people with crucial decision-making processes, which is very rewarding.
“While restrictions are easing, we’re continuing to work from home but the support and warm welcome I received from the team when I started was fantastic. I may have only joined a few weeks ago but I already feel like part of the team and have been able to hit the ground running thanks to the expert technology provided by the firm.”

She also has considerable experience in providing advice to families with disabilities and on mental capacity, care provision and funding issues.
