Tilly Bailey & Irvine Takes Over Scanlans Solicitors

Tilly Bailey & Irvine, a venerable law firm established in 1842, has expanded its operations through the acquisition of Sunderland-based Scanlans Solicitors. The strategic move is aimed at augmenting Scanlans' established specialist criminal law services with a broader spectrum of legal offerings, including personal injury, corporate, commercial, and family law. The acquisition allows Tilly Bailey & Irvine to enhance their service offerings and expand their geographic footprint, building upon their existing offices in Hartlepool, Stockton, Wynyard Park, and Barnard Castle in County Durham. Scanlans' head, Heather Bolton, will become a partner at Tilly Bailey & Irvine, while Lynda Scanlan will remain as office manager, ensuring continuity of service for existing clients. This development represents a significant milestone for Tilly Bailey & Irvine as they integrate Scanlans' legacy and team into their operations.
