A North East law firm has announced further expansion with the appointment of an expert paralegal.
Emmersons Solicitors has appointed Eleanor Bohill as part of its Family Law Team. Eleanor also sits on the office of the Police Crime Commissioner for Northumbria Rape Scrutiny Panel and has experience within another local law firm as well as the Coroners Court Support Service and as a student advisor for Family Law and Criminal Appeals and Prisoner Advice.
Eleanor’s appointment comes following growth across the business, including an increase in staff by 25%.
Jacqueline Emmerson, director at Emmersons Solicitors, said: “Eleanor has already proven to be a valuable member of the team at an important time for the growth of our firm. We’ve seen significant growth across all our departments which has been supported by our dedicated staff.
“Our recent growth is underpinned by appointing the right people to represent our business. The priority of Emmersons Solicitors is to maintain the highest quality client care and to genuinely support local people and business.”
Eleanor, who is from Morpeth, added: “Emmersons Solicitors is a great local firm which is devoted to local communities. I am thoroughly enjoying being part of a firm which wants to support local enterprise and small businesses with commercial support and local people with its family law offering.
“Jacqueline is a fantastic mentor and role model and I look forward to growing my career with Emmersons Solicitors, meeting new clients and playing a part in the company’s expansion.”
