Bellavia & Associates, the full-service Newport law firm, has expanded its team with the appointment of two new legal professionals.

The firm has welcomed Natasha Dias as a Corporate Solicitor, further strengthening its growing corporate and commercial offering. A fully-qualified solicitor and attorney-at-law, Natasha holds a master’s degree in international Commercial Law from Cardiff University.

Natasha said she was drawn to Bellavia & Associates because of its strong alignment with her own professional values:

“I’m delighted to be joining Bellavia & Associates because of its strong focus on SMEs and mid-market clients, as well as its commercially pragmatic and relationship-driven approach. The firm has clearly built genuine long-term relationships with its clients, which reflects a culture that truly values partnership. That aligns closely with my own approach to legal practice and the type of professional environment I want to be part of.”

Natasha aims to continue developing the team’s high-trust advisory work, expanding her involvement in international and cross-border transactions, and becoming an even more recognised corporate/commercial solicitor and future partner. She also has a strong interest in public policy and governance reform.

Joining alongside Natasha and the team of five solicitors is Blythe Beddoe, aged 23 and from Pontllanfraith, who has been appointed as a Paralegal. Blythe holds a degree in Law.

Blythe said she was excited to join Bellavia & Associates because of the firm’s distinctive culture and the opportunities it offers young legal professionals:

“What stood out to me is how unique the firm is and the genuine opportunity to progress. It’s the kind of environment where you can grow, learn and build a long-term career.”

Her ambition is to qualify as a solicitor, and her new role provides hands-on experience across the firm’s full-service departments.

Managing Director Zep Bellavia said:

“We’re delighted to welcome Natasha and Blythe to our firm. Both bring talent, energy and a commitment to delivering excellent client service. As Bellavia & Associates continues to grow, investing in high-quality people remains central to our strategy. These appointments strengthen our ability to support clients across our full range of services.”
