The Aycliffe team is headed up by Paul Humble, a senior employment lawyer with considerable experience of acting for a wide range of employers throughout the region. Paul is a solicitor of 16 years standing, and was appointed as a fee-paid Employment Tribunal Judge in 2011. When Paul is not practising law in the North East, he sits as a Judge in Manchester Employment Tribunal on a part-time basis. Paul Humble, who lives locally, said: “Whitehead and Low want to diversify regionally and establish a presence in the South Durham region. Aycliffe Business Park is a good place to be situated. There is plenty of business growth on the Park, and we’re keen to work with companies of all shapes and sizes and maturities here in Aycliffe. We are employment law specialists and we already act for a range of employers throughout the North East and Yorkshire.” Paul is joined by Ben Healey, a lawyer of six years who specialises in commercial and employment work, and by Paul Stevens who provides additional support for the employment department. Whitehead and Low also benefit from experienced specialists based in Bedlington, Northumberland including the managing partner John Whitehead who specialises in commercial property. Whitehead and Low say they are ideally placed to offer expert, face-to-face advice. “We’re one of the few regionally based law firms to provide a comprehensive human resources and employment law service from qualified lawyers.” Paul added. “We have a level of employment law expertise that many other law firms can’t offer and we take the time to get to know our clients. We get to know business owners and managers personally and gain an understanding of how their businesses work. “We provide long-term solutions to clients and meet with them on a regular basis so that they have the assurance of knowing who they are dealing with and that someone is close at hand when a problem rises rather than having to rely upon a faceless individual at the end of the telephone. “Our approach is to be practical and business focused, resolving employee problems as soon as they arise. A proactive approach can save companies a lot of time and money in the long-run. When things do go awr
