Those of you reading this who have followed our series of monochrome images highlighting some of the elements of our legal services may appreciate that we are ending the series with an image that perhaps is most associated with Darlington – a steam locomotion.  It was natural that the series ended with this image with our heritage of providing legal services to the people of Darlington going back nearly 50 years.

12 months ago the series started with our ‘Zebra’ who has now become synonymous with the firm. We embarked upon the 12 months series of black and white images to utilise our firms black and white colour scheme, also the colour scheme of Darlington. This choice was not incidental all those years ago but rather to reflect that as a firm we are proud to be headquartered in the heart of Darlington town center.

Whilst the railway is a clear part of Darlington’s history, it is also important to look to the future and the Council and associated organizations have some exciting plans for the development of the town  to continue to make the town a destination where people want to live and visit. As a business we must also look to continue to develop how we provide legal services so that we can continue to serve the community of Darlington from our offices in the town centre. The recent pandemic has highlighted the relevance of flexible IT and telecoms and our prior investment in these elements has meant that we have been able to continue to provide a full range of services throughout, albeit at a distance. We continue to recruit our future talent, whether legal or operational, and invest in training and developing existing staff as part of our clear strategic vision to ensure we remain  at the forefront of legal services in Darlington, across the Tees Valley and North Yorkshire for the next 50 years.

As we set out on this series of images, we highlighted that black and white also represents clarity which is one of the core focuses of our service – making legal issues easy to understand. The legal world, legislation and terminology can often be confusing to members of the public and cause frustration as to what the legal position may be. We believe that the legal world should be made simple. As a firm we explain options clearly, in plain English to ensure our clients fully understand their position to make informed choices. As a firm we are Lexcel accredited by the Law Society as a quality mark for our practice management and client care and our individual team members hold additional qualifications and accreditations relevant to their area of law meaning their is also substance and experience to our advice.
