Darlington law firm Latimer Hinks has appointed trainee solicitor JOHN BOOTH.
The Durham University law graduate, who has recently completed the first of his professional qualifications at Northumbria University, will specialise in company law with Latimer Hinks' commercial department.
Mr Booth, 22, from Bishop Auckland, County Durham, now living in Darlington, said: "After enjoying studying in Durham and Newcastle so much and being North-East born and bred, I was looking to join an established firm.
"Latimer Hinks offered me the opportunity I was looking for and I hope that I can repay the faith they have shown in me."
