A NORTH Yorkshire law firm has opened another branch and welcomed a new member to its team.
Coles Solicitors has set up a base in Guisborough, east Cleveland.
The company, which launched in 2007, has taken on Michelle Bennison to run the new office.
Ms Bennison, who previously worked for Ian Cowie Solicitors, said: “It's exciting to be part of a milestone in a well-established firm and I'm really looking forward to its future."
Managing director, Peter Gibson, added: “Having grown up in east Cleveland, it has been an ambition of mine to provide legal services to the community in which I feel the most affinity.
“With our team of experts, we can serve the needs of our clients while offering them a more local service and I'm thrilled to be bringing Coles home.”
The firm will also move into an office in Harrogate to carry out consulting work, and has offices in Northallerton, York, Thirsk, Settle and Yarm, near Stockton.
