People: Property specialist joins law firm; Assistant solicitor re-joins practice
Law firm Geldards has added to its commercial property team in Derby with the appointment of senior associate Chloe Buxton.
Joining the acclaimed team from Flint Bishop where she practised for the past four years, Buxton brings to the team specialist experience in commercial and residential property development and finance.
She said: “I am thrilled to be joining the commercial property team at Geldards. It’s a great opportunity for me to work with such a respected team and I am looking forward to getting to know the clients. ”
Graham Banks, partner and head of the Derby property team, said: “It’s been a really busy year for the team, and we have completed some landmark deals, so it is a great time for Chloe to be joining. We look forward to her skills complementing and enhancing our talented team and are looking forward to what next year brings.”
A Northamptonshire-based solicitors practice specialising in commercial and residential property has welcomed a former employee back to the team.
Pooja Pattni has re-joined Cox Minhas five years after she first secured a job with the legal firm fresh from university.
In September, Pattni was re-employed by the company, based at Catherine House in Harborough Road, Brixworth, as an intern before completing her post-graduate training scheme just two months later.
Now a qualified assistant solicitor, Pattni is responsible for drafting leases, writing up contracts and liaising with clients, estate agents and other legal organisations.
She said: “It is a pleasure to be back working at Cox Minhas as it is such a fun and relaxed environment to work in.
“The team has welcomed me back with open arms by being so supportive whilst I was finishing my legal training.”
She added: “My new role is exciting and fast-paced, and I can’t wait to gain more independence during my time here.”
Saranjit Minhas, owner of Cox Minhas, said: “Pooja is a great addition to our team, and it was such a sad day when we lost her due to the company moving premises.
“We were delighted when Pooja showed an interest to re-join the team to finish her training as we can now support her during her career as a qualified solicitor.”
