Nicki Barclay - Consultant
No longer a practising solicitor but a consultant, Nicki practised employment and company/commercial law from 2001 until the end of 2012. Her previous careers included public and voluntary sector work, as well as private sector work in PR and media, providing an excellent background for employment and commercial law. In addition Nicki established and successfully ran businesses both in the UK and abroad –including relocating one business from Belize to Jamaica.
Nicki set up the firm in early 2006 and spent the next few years building up the client base. In December 2009, Nicki handed over the firm to Robert and spent 3 years working as a part-time consultant solicitor providing legal services through Barclay Taylor. In November 2012, Nicki retired as a solicitor altogether and now provides strategic advice as a business consultant not a practising solicitor, referring any actual legal work to Barclay Taylor (now Cubism Law).
