A GROWING North-East law firm has added to its team by appointing a dispute resolution solicitor.

Aimee Hubbard has joined BHP Law, which has offices in Newcastle, Darlington, Durham and Stockton.

Ms Hubbard joins BHP as an associate, having qualified eight years ago, and has a range of commercial litigation and property litigation experience.

Originally from Ponteland, Northumberland, she studied law at Leicester University and spent a year studying French law at Strasbourg University.
