Congratulations to Nathalie Mackinnon on becoming a qualified solicitor

Nathalie graduated from Oxford Brookes University with a 2:1 in Economics and achieved distinctions in her Common Professional Examination (CPE) and Legal Practice Course (LPC) at London Metropolitan University. In 2021, she completed her Master of Laws (LLM) at London Met.

As a newly qualified solicitor, Nathalie is now taking up a permanent position with our commercial property team, where she will help clients with various matters, including buying and selling commercial property, commercial leases, landlord and tenant matters, and more.

Owen Walsh, partner and head of commercial property, said:

"Congratulations to Nathalie on her qualification. I am delighted to have her skills and experience as part of our commercial property team. We are keen to continue growing the department, and Nathalie is already a highly regarded and respected team member."

"We pride ourselves on training the next generation of solicitors and are extremely pleased when talented trainees decide to continue their careers with us on qualification. Since her first day at SO Legal, Nathalie has worked diligently and has a bright future with the firm."

Nathalie and our other London solicitors are based in the heart of the legal quarter at Holborn Gate, 330 High Holborn, WC1V 7QH, a short distance from the Royal Courts of Justice.
