Ambitious solicitor delighted to join dynamic Cumbrian firm

LEADING legal firm Cartmell Shepherd has recruited an ambitious solicitor to further strengthen its team.

Natalie Tatton joins the UK200 Group business as a solicitor in its dispute resolution department.

Natalie, a former law graduate of the University of Cumbria, had previously trained with Brockbanks in West Cumbria at the same time as completing her Legal Practice Course at Northumbria University. Natalie qualified as a solicitor in May 2018.

Based at Cartmell Shepherd’s Carlisle office, Natalie’s initial focus will be on landlord and tenant disputes, boundary disputes and contract disputes.

“I am very excited about the opportunity,” said Natalie. “It’s a modern firm, with a structured department which means there’s a high level of expertise in all the different areas and the chance to work as a team and learn from each other. Everyone in the firm is very friendly and professional and dedicated to providing a high quality service to their clients.

“There’s also the opportunity to attend regular networking events, and there’s the social side of the business which also appealed to me. Everyone in the firm works as a team and it’s fantastic to be part of the team.”

Natalie, from Seaton, who away from work enjoys playing the piano, fell walking and gardening, has clear career ambitions.

“I have always wanted to work with my local community hence the reasoning for completing my law degree at the University of Cumbria. I have been qualified as a solicitor for a year now. My short term goal is to build my expertise and reputation working as a dispute resolution solicitor. In ten years time I would like to be a director. It’s important to have goals.”
