Legal and professional services group Gateley has made two new senior hires to join its Nottingham office.
Helen Burgess has been appointed as a partner in the employment team, while Matt Hussey joins as a partner within the corporate team – both will be based at Gateley’s office on The Ropewalk in the city centre.
Helen joins from Shoosmiths where she spent almost 20 years in a number of roles, culminating in heading up the organisation’s Nottingham employment team since 2010. At Gateley, Helen will continue her work in the employment arena, bringing with her a wealth of experience and expertise across all areas of employment law – from corporate transactions to complex tribunals.
Matt, a Nottingham-native, has joined Gateley having spent the last six years working as a principal associate in the corporate team at Eversheds Sutherland. In his new role, Matt will focus on supporting clients within the Private M&A (Mergers & Acquisitions) and Private Capital spaces.
Helen Burgess said: “Having seen from afar the great work Gateley carries out for their clients, I am extremely excited to be joining the team. I am looking forward to building trusted relationships with clients in the East Midlands, as well as embracing the great working culture that Gateley offers.”
Matt Hussey said: “This is a great time to be joining the organisation as it continues to grow, and I can’t wait to be a part of its continued success. This is also a really exciting time for the East Midlands corporate finance market, and I am looking forward to working with our clients from across the region.”
Andrew Macmillan, who heads up Gateley’s Nottingham office, said: “We are thrilled to welcome both Helen and Matt to Gateley. They bring with them a wealth of experience and will be a real asset to the clients they support in Nottingham and beyond.”
