“When I was back from university I worked as an admin assistant at Wace Morgan, helping out last year when the firm moved from three offices in Shrewsbury to one larger premises in St Mary’s Street, which was a major logistical operation,” said Nathan, who also worked there part time when studying for his masters degree as a paralegal specialising in employment law.
He has now been appointed as a trainee solicitor and is currently placed in the employment department working with Partner, Keir Hirst.
