Salena Dawson – Principal Solicitor

Salena Dawson qualified as a solicitor in 2002 after completing her training contract in the Breckland Region.  After heading up an Employment law department, mainly representing employees, she joined a Norwich firm specialising in Employment law allowing her to act for employers appearing as an advocate before local Employment Tribunals.

In 2006 Salena joined Norwich Union Commercial to expand her knowledge of Commercial Law and to gain a Corporate aspect of running a business. But missing working within the community Salena took the bold move to leave the safety of Norwich Union/ Aviva and in 2008 set up her own legal firm Salena Dawson & Co Solicitors and retrain in Private Client in order to provide the community with the legal service they most required.

Salena chose Watton for her first office because it was in close proximity to her then home in Thompson. In 2013 with taking on new staff ,Salena rebranded the firm “Dawsons Law” to acknowledge she was no longer practicing alone.  In 2018 as a result of ongoing expansion Salena moved the office to the Hethersett Region, continuing to provide city expertise locally and provide mobile legal services to the Watton and Wayland Area.

Salena now resides in Hethersett and provides legal services to a range of local businesses on Employment issues . Staying true to her community Salena also combines her Employment Practice with private client being an Attorney or Executor for those with nobody locally to act.  She undertakes Probate and administration of Estate works

Salena also sits on the local parish council and is proud to be a Solicitor at the Heart of the Community
