Macrossan and Amiet congratulates Nelson Turner of our Mackay office on his admission as a Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Queensland. Barrister Michael de Waard moved his admission at the Supreme Court of Brisbane before Chief Justice Catherine Holmes on 24 November 2020.
Since joining the team as a Trainee Solicitor on 20 January 2020, Nelson has developed an interest in Commercial and Property Law and looks forward to honing his skills in these areas.
Nelson grew up in Mackay and completed his schooling at Holy Spirit College. He moved to Townsville in 2016 to complete a Bachelor of Laws degree at James Cook University. After finishing his degree at the end of 2019, he was successful at finding a job back in his hometown at Macrossan & Amiet.
In his spare time, Nelson enjoys catching up with his mates either for a drink or a barbeque. He has also recently started MMA training.
