Growth and promotions at TBI Law

North East law firm Tilly Bailey and Irvine (TBI) Law has reported growth and a series of promotions a year after expanding into Sunderland.

Following its merger with Scanlans, now TBI Scanlans, staff numbers at the Sunderland office have more than doubled from nine to 20, supported by a £40,000 refurbishment of the John Street premises. 

The expansion has also contributed to a 16 per cent year-on-year increase in new matters across the firm.

Alongside the growth, the firm has announced nine promotions. 

Laura Nomaz, Jessica Inman, Georgia Wilkinson, Rhiannon Melrose and Tyler Plunkett have all been promoted to senior associate roles, while Bethany Atkinson, Mollie Hall, Olivia Linton and Sophie Wilding have stepped up to associate positions.

Founded in Hartlepool in 1842, TBI Law employs more than 200 people across offices in Sunderland, Stockton, Barnard Castle, Wynyard and Hartlepool.

Heather Bolton, partner and head of the Sunderland branch, said: “The Sunderland office has rapidly become a strong asset for the firm.

“The investment in the office and the merger has allowed us to expand the team and offer a broader range of services to clients in the area, for a community that quickly made the team very much at home.

“These promotions reflect the dedication and hard work shown by our colleagues across the firm.

“We are committed to supporting career development, promoting staff each year, and consistently recognising talent from within as we continue to grow.”
