JACKSONS LAW has appointed Gina Dowson as a trainee solicitor at its Stockton office.

It is the latest move in the company’s growth, after Jacksons opened a office in Newcastle late last year, after its Tyne-Tees partnership with Mincoffs ended in October.

Ms Dowson graduated from Northumbria University and began training at Hunt Kidd, in Newcastle, in May 2008.

Having gained experience in residential property and employment law, she has joined the private client team at Jacksons, where she will be dealing with matrimonial, probate and residential conveyancing matters.
