TEESSIDE law firm Tilly, Bailey & Irvine has expanded into Sunderland with the acquisition of city centre practice Scanlans Solicitors.

- TOM KEIGHLEY Business writer tom.keighley@reachplc.com

The move brings about 15 staff of Scanlans into the TBI Law business which already employs about 200 people across offices in Stockton, Wynard and Barnard Castle. No job losses will result from the undisclosed deal.

TBI Law will now offer a wider range of services for businesses and individuals at the former Scanlans office on John Street in the Sunniside area of the city. Services will include personal injury, corporate and commercial law, and family law.
