Additionally, the expansion will see TBI Law provide a range of additional services at the new Sunderland office, in John Street, including personal injury and family law.
Having served communities for almost 200 years, TBI Law’s journey has been defined by growth, success, expertise and progressiveness.
With a strong focus on a diverse workforce, a century ago it became one of the first North East law firms to appoint a female solicitor.
In the modern day, TBI Law’s organic growth has been fuelled by a year-on-year increase in turnover alongside continuous investment in the business. It has legal experts in almost every key branch of criminal, commercial and family law.
Having formed almost 40 years ago, Scanlans became one of the most trusted law firms in Sunderland, with a particular specialism in criminal law.
And the Sunderland office – which will be TBI’s fifth – will be headed up by Heather Bolton, who has also become a Partner at TBI Law, while Lynda Scanlan will remain on-site as Office Manager.
“This is a wonderful new chapter for our team, but our clients can be assured that they will continue to be represented by the same staff who have always provided them with the exceptional service we’ve become known for across Wearside” added Heather.
“It will also mean important new services for those clients, who will further benefit from the collective expertise available through TBI Law.”
