ROSANNE GREEN has decided to start her legal career in the North-East after joining Darlington law firm Latimer Hinks.

The Aston University graduate will focus on private client work.

She is training in areas such as wills, trusts, probate and agriculture.

Anne Elliot, partner at Latimer Hinks, said: "Competition to recruit up-and-coming professionals is intensifying in the region, so we are pleased Rosanne agreed to move to the North-East and join us.

"The areas that she is specialising in at the firm have growing levels of business, so I have no doubt she will become a great asset."
