A seasoned commercial lawyer, Anthea Nelson, has been appointed by LCF Law to further strengthen the firm’s corporate and commercial department.
Anthea has more than 20 years’ experience, most recently working as an in-house legal director. She has worked as in-house counsel for a range of UK businesses and for the last seven years as legal director for a £20million turnover international manufacturing business.
During her extensive legal career, Anthea has advised companies of all sizes on every aspect of commercial law including sales, acquisitions, management buyouts and restructures, as well as contracts, regulatory and compliance, and risk and governance matters.
Anthea worked at board level in an advisory role and as chair, and in her most recent position, was appointed as interim managing director overseeing the manufacturing company’s turnaround during the pandemic before preparing the business for an eventual sale in summer 2022.
LCF Law partner, Susan Clark, who heads the firm’s corporate and commercial department, said: “Anthea is an astute lawyer with widespread commercial experience, having worked for several Leeds based law firms and as in-house legal director in industry. With a solid understanding of all business matters, she’s an excellent advisor who can take any business through a range of complex contract and commercial negotiations. She is a welcome addition to our team.”
Anthea will predominantly work from LCF Law’s Leeds and Harrogate offices providing legal advice to clients across the whole of the UK. Anthea’s appointment bolsters LCF Law’s corporate and commercial team to nine highly experienced lawyers.
