NBB Waldrons has strengthened its Business Services team with the appointment of experienced Chartered Legal Executive Laura Webb and the return of University of Worcester law graduate Oscar Binding as a Junior Paralegal.
The appointments bring together specialist commercial property expertise and emerging legal talent, supporting the firm’s continued development of its legal services for businesses, property owners and individuals across the Midlands and beyond.
Laura joins NBB Waldrons with more than 15 years’ experience in the legal sector, having begun her career in 2009 with SLC Solicitors before moving into specialist property work in 2016.
Qualifying as a Chartered Legal Executive through CILEX, Laura subsequently became Head of Property at Bailey Property Law in 2023, where she combined her legal expertise with responsibility for developing processes, improving case management systems and building relationships with professional advisers.
Most recently, Laura worked within the Enfranchisement Department at Brady Solicitors, managing a varied caseload involving leasehold property matters.
Her experience includes lease extensions, enfranchisement, property transactions and complex matters involving bona vacantia and escheat, including helping clients recover property that has reverted to the Crown.
Speaking about her appointment, Laura said: “Enfranchisement can be a complicated area of property law, and every client’s circumstances are different. I enjoy helping people understand their options and guiding them through the process, whether that’s dealing with the immediate matter or supporting them with lease extensions, variations and practical considerations afterwards.
“I’m looking forward to bringing that experience to NBB Waldrons and working alongside colleagues across the Business Services team.”
Outside work, Laura enjoys spending time with her husband, children and two dogs. A keen reader, she has a particular interest in medieval and imperial Russian history.
Also joining the Business Services team is Oscar Binding, who returns to NBB Waldrons following a successful placement during the final year of his law degree at the University of Worcester.
During his placement, Oscar gained practical experience supporting colleagues on corporate and employment law matters, building on his academic studies and gaining valuable insight into working within a busy legal practice.
Having since graduated with a 2:1 in Law LLB (Hons), Oscar now joins the firm as a full-time Junior Paralegal.
Oscar said: “My placement at NBB Waldrons was a great opportunity to put what I was learning at university into practice and experience what working in a law firm is really like.
“I enjoyed working with the team, so it’s particularly rewarding to return in a full-time role. I’m looking forward to building on that experience, learning from colleagues and taking the next steps in my legal career.”
Away from the office, Oscar enjoys travelling, spending time outdoors, keeping fit and catching up with family and friends.
Vishal Mahay, Partner and Head of Business Services and Dispute Resolution at NBB Waldrons, welcomed both appointments.
“Laura and Oscar join us at different stages of their careers, but both have a great deal to contribute.
“Laura brings valuable specialist property experience, particularly in enfranchisement and complex property matters. Her knowledge will complement the expertise we already have across Business Services and strengthen the support we can offer clients.
“It’s equally rewarding to welcome Oscar back. He made a positive impression during his placement, and we’re pleased to offer him the opportunity to develop his career with us.
“Building a strong team means investing in experienced professionals while also giving talented people the opportunity to grow. Both appointments reflect that approach, and I’m looking forward to working with them.”
The appointments further strengthen NBB Waldrons’ Business Services offering, which supports businesses and individuals across a range of commercial legal matters, including corporate and commercial law, commercial property, employment and dispute resolution.
