Meet The Team

Ayesha Nayyar

Senior Solicitor/Director

Profile
I graduated from the University of Manchester in 1995 and qualified as a Solicitor in 1999. I subsequently became a Partner in the city centre Law Firm that I trained at becoming its youngest Partner. Nayyars Solicitors was founded in 2010 with the aim of it becoming one of the leading law firms in the North West.

My background is specializing in high value personal injury and fatal accident claims. Such cases have included brain injuries, amputations, orthopaedic and spinal injuries. I continue to run a case load of complex cases while managing the practice.

I have lectured extensively on all areas of personal injury and over the years have become renowned in the field. Before setting up Nayyars Solicitors I was Head of Dispute Resolution at BPP Professional Education delivering CPD courses to both public and in-house clients including magic circle law firms and insurance companies.

I regularly contribute to newspapers and appear on TV talking about legal issues. I was a Presenter on a 5 episode series on the Crime for the BBC called Crime, Are We Tough Enough?

Amongst other awards the Firm has won, I won Sole Practitioner of the Year 2019 at the Law Society Excellence Awards 2019.

I started work in a Solicitors Practice in 1982 and have had 35 years legal experience in accounts departments. My role is to manage the Accounts Team under the SRA guidelines. I pride myself on being a team player as well as a manager in the firm. My aim is to be the best at what I do. I have extensive knowledge of accounts systems and Microsoft products.

My work ethos is “work hard and enjoy what you do”. Running a busy Accounts Department and Team can be challenging at times but at Nayyars with the procedures we have in place I am confident that we deliver a first class service to clients.
