‘Big City’ Employment Law at Tees Valley Firm

Tilly Bailey & Irvine Solicitors has expanded its employment law team with the appointment of Theresa Carling, a solicitor who brings 11 years’ experience in this area of law.

Theresa said: “Employment law never stands still and while an employer focuses on its own business, it is important to have access to excellent advice in this area of law.  Employers in the Tees Valley want to be confident that they are getting the best service from their employment lawyers, at competitive rates rather than ‘big city’ rates and this is precisely what we can offer.”

Since completing her legal training at University of Teesside and University of Central Lancashire, Theresa has specialised in employment law.  She has worked with Jacksons Law Firm in Stockton on Tees and Ward Hadaway in Newcastle.  She has worked with a full range of businesses, from small family-owned companies to large commercial clients and public and third sector employers.  Previous larger clients include household names such as Graham and Brown, Hovis and Bannatynes as well as a number of large NHS Trusts and Councils.

Theresa added: “I’m North East born and bred, and really pleased to be able to further my career here in the Tees Valley.  I enjoy finding solutions to my clients’ challenges, without bombarding them with legal jargon.  My aim is always to make dealing with your solicitor as pleasant as possible.  A meeting with your solicitor should not be an occasion you dread, it should be about finding a way forward as painlessly as possible.”

Theresa, 36, lives in Nunthorpe with her family.  Away from work she is a trustee on behalf of the Great North Air Ambulance Service.  She enjoys live music and travel, golf and running.
