Matthew Bates - Paralegal

After graduating from Nottingham Law School, Nottingham Trent University, Matthew worked at a Walsall based law firm before joining Ward & Rider as a Trainee Legal Executive/Paralegal in December 2010.

Matthew states "I am pursuing a career in Personal Injury as this enables me to help injured and vulnerable people through legal redress. Ultimately I have a desire to put people in the strongest position possible after an accident and I work very hard everyday to achieve this."

Outside of work Matthew enjoys playing football, attending the gym and having nights out with friends. He is currently learning Spanish and hopes to do some travelling in the near future to put it to good use!
