Ruth Burrell Consultant Solicitor


Flexibility to respond to clients’ needs


Much has been said over the past year about the ‘new normal’ and for one local solicitor, the benefi ts of embracing


a different, flexible way of doing


things, soon became obvious. Commercial property law specialist Ruth


Burrell found herself at a crossroads soon after lockdown began and took the leap to become self- employed, anticipating that 12 years of experience practising in the local area should stand her in good stead. Relishing the prospect of being able to work


for herself and with a focus on being responsive and flexible at a time when clients were facing incredible daily pressures, Ruth’s research resulted in an arrangement with Nexa Law, and so began a new chapter in Ruth’s career. “When I was faced with making a new start, I


really felt that setting up on my own would be the answer,” said Ruth. “I have practised as a solicitor locally since 2008, specialising in commercial property law, so I have many contacts with whom I have built very good relationships. “Nexa Law is a new model law firm where the administration and compliance are covered centrally, leaving solicitors free to concentrate on working for their clients. So, after a great deal of research into the best way forward, I decided to go down that route. “It was an interesting and exciting time to


become self-employed but, despite the challenges we’ve all faced over the past 11 months or so, it’s all gone very smoothly and I’ve built a healthy client base.”

Interesting times for commercial property “Commercial property is going through an interesting stage at the mo- ment,” said Ruth. “T ere’s maybe not as much transactional work as usual because people are sitting tight until they are more certain about the future, but there are still many businesses seeking advice on their properties – especially around leases.
