| Career : |
Richard Nelson was admitted in 1975 and has a wide range of experience in the law and business.
Having trained with an old established firm, he subsequently moved to Freeth Cartwright & Sketchley where he became a Partner in 1980.
In 1983, he left to form what became known as Nelsons. As Senior Partner, he was instrumental in the growth of the broad-based practice, leading it to become one of the largest firms in the East Midlands and amongst the largest 50 firms in the country.
He left Nelsons in 2003 to set up the new niche business defence practice in April 2003.
Richard has substantial experience and has gained a national reputation for criminal and regulatory work. In the course of his career, he has dealt with some of the largest cases presented in Court. The Legal 500 for 2008 has rated Richard joint number one for crime and fraud in the East Midlands and has described him as ‘inspirational’ and ‘one of the best fraud lawyers with a truly national profile’.
He was a founder member of the Complex Case Practitioners’ Group, is Secretary of the Serious Fraud Association and a member of the Association of Regulatory and Disciplinary Lawyers.
He also has hands-on business experience and has held a number of non-executive directorships which have provided him with further practical insight of relevance to the firm’s work. |
