NELSON MYATT

From Dream to Reality. Behind the Scenes of Award Winning Solicitors. Nelson Myatt Solicitors LLP was the next chapter in the lives of the business partners Andrew Nelson and Claire Myatt. Andrew and Claire met in Bangor University in 2004 when they started the law degree, both as mature students with a lifetime of experience between them. Andrew had served in the army from school and then went on to be a mountain guide. He decided that his body would not allow him to carry on doing what he loved forever and decided to retrain to be a lawyer. Claire had been a civil servant for 19 years, working to fit around bringing up her 3 daughters, and they then got to an age where they were not quite so dependent. She started university when she was 40 - it is never too late! Both Andrew and Claire left Bangor University with a 2:1 hons degree and then went to Manchester Metropolitan University where they studied the BVC and were called to the Bar in 2008. Both of them went on to qualify as solicitors and Andrew was admitted on the Roll of Solicitors in 2009 and Claire in 2010. The dream of running their own practice had been with them since early university days and it became a reality on 6th April 2014 when Nelson Myatt Solicitors LLP started trading. Both Claire and Andrew were determined that they would have a different approach to dealing with clients than the more traditional law firms. There are no secretaries employed at the firm and clients speak to their solicitor/fee earner

directly when they call. There is a relaxed approach in dealing with clients, with meetings either within clients own homes or at the firms offices, primarily ensuring that clients are fully supported during the time that they most need it. Most people contact a solicitor at a time of need and therefore it is very important to the firm that support is offered and maintained. For every client there is a free half an hour initial consultation, where advice is given and clients can go away and act on that advice themselves or they can instruct the firm. Either way, the firm provides the best support and guidance that it can. This whole experience for clients has ensured that clients return time after time to the firm and not only that, they recommend the firm to their friends also. The testimonials on the firms website sum up the experience clients receive. The firm has grown to a team of 7 and 2 offices, which totally surpasses both of the partners expectations. Initially they had envisaged that the firm would be the just the two of them.

lockdown there has been a real surge in requests for Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney and Family Law advice. Many a Will has been signed in the firms car park adhering to Social Distancing Guidelines – all in a days work. The firm has remained open behind closed doors and has continued to be there to help and support clients. If you would like to talk to any of the team at Nelson Myatt then please do not hesitate to contact them directly on 01492 588200. There is always a free telephone consultation and a friendly voice waiting for you. As an additional gesture of goodwill there will be a 10% discount applied to any Chamber Member when using the firms services.

In 2018 the firm won the prestigious Conwy Business Awards Small Business of the Year and were finalists in the Daily Post Business Awards. Both were amazing accolades to the partners and the team at Nelson Myatt and their hard work and determination in making the firm a success. The firm is what is classed as a general high street practice specialising in all areas of law apart from crime. During the Covid 19
