Nadia Santry qualified as a solicitor in 2008, specialising in residential conveyancing. She worked at a Cheltenham law firm for 14 years before joining Tayntons to meet their growing demand for residential conveyancing services. Nadia advises individuals and businesses on all aspects of residential conveyancing, including freehold/leasehold sales and purchases, new build, shared ownership transactions, transfer of equity, and re-mortgage matters. Keen to offer practical, no-nonsense advice Nadia prides herself on offering a personal service and protecting the best interests of clients in a clear and efficient way.

Julia Tolerton has joined the firm’s Family team as a childcare solicitor. Julia worked for the local authority since 2019 and represents parents and other family members in court proceedings.
