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.
Outside of work, Natasha enjoys travel and cultural experiences, hiking, and reading and poetry.
Joining alongside Natasha & the team of 5 solicitors is Blythe Beddoe, aged 23 and from Pontllanfraith, who has been appointed as a Paralegal. Blythe holds a degree in Law and brings enthusiasm, ambition and a strong academic foundation to the firm.
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.
Outside the office, Blythe enjoys going to the gym, shopping and travelling.
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.”
