Latimer Hinks Solicitors has become one of the first law firms in the Tees Valley to receive a prestigious quality standard from the Law Society.

Through the programme, the Law Society provides a recognised quality standard for residential conveyancing practices. This acknowledges the integrity of senior and key staff, good practice management standards, and “adherence to prudent and efficient conveyancing procedures.

Partner, Nicola Neilson, heads up the residential property department and leads a team of conveyancers which includes Martin Williamson. Martin is a member of the Institute of Licensed Conveyancers.
