Natalie Wellock | Trainee

I began my training contract at Hodge Jones & Allen LLP in September 2016, having previously worked as a Paralegal in the firm’s Clinical Negligence Department. During my time as a Paralegal I assisted a partner with a varied clinical negligence caseload, including claims for birth injury, as well as running my own files. My first seat is in the Clinical Negligence department, where I hope to further develop the knowledge, skills and experience I gained during my time as a Paralegal.

I also coordinate a legal advice clinic at a local Citizens Advice Bureau, which provides advice and assistance in respect of housing and employment matters.
