LAW firm Crutes has appointed solicitor Tom Bowes to its company and commercial team on Tyneside.

Tom, 25, graduated from Newcastle University, and later completed his legal practice course in 2006 at Northumbria University Law School.

He left the region to complete his training contract at a law firm in London, but is pleased to be returning to the North-East to take up his new role in Newcastle.

Now living in Wallsend, Tom is looking forward to working on a broad spectrum of company and commercial work for Crutes and its expanding commercial client base through its Newcastle, Middlesbrough and Carlisle offices.

He said: “I am looking forward to joining an expanding team and to playing a leading role in the expansion of the business. I am particularly keen to become involved in marketing and networking activity within the North-East business community to further the growing reputation of Crutes’ commercial team.”

Paul Bell, head of Crutes’ company and commercial department, said: “With Tom’s appointment we are able to take the department to the next level and expand both the quality and quantity of work we can handle as a team. Tom is an extremely talented young lawyer who can look forward to bright future at Crutes as part of our expanding Business Services team.”
