(l-r) Nicola Dalzell, Jessica Morton and Carolyn Tilly.

North East law firm Tilly Bailey & Irvine has announced the appointment of Jessica Morton, a specialist Wills, Trusts and Probate Solicitor, to the firm’s commercial office at Wynyard.

Jessica will join the now 10-strong Private Client team, specialising in Wills, Trusts, Estate Administration and Inheritance Tax Planning.

She will be based at the firm’s Wynyard Office and further enhance the private client offering to the firm’s business clients and in particular focus on tax planning for high net worth individuals.

Jessica says: “Having originally trained on Teesside and following two years’ working in a respected Newcastle law firm, I am pleased to return to the area and join Tees Valley’s largest law firm, which has provided trusted advice since 1842.


“Business owners inevitably spend a great deal of time focusing on the day-to-day management of their business. While crucial, it is just as important to consider the wider picture and plan for the future once they have gone.”

Managing Partner Carolyn Tilly said: “we are delighted and excited to have Jessica a part of team TBI. Having her knowledge in the Private Client team will be a great asset, and will certainly prove invaluable to local businesses.”

Partner and Head of the firm’s Wills, Trusts and Probate team, Nicola Dalzell, added: “I am thrilled to finally share this exciting news. Jessica will complement the largest Private Client team in the Tees Valley. Her expertise will ensure we continue going from strength to strength, and our clients will continue reaping the benefits of instructing a full service law firm with access to legal experts across specialist areas.”

Putting in place careful planning for both your business and personal affairs can lead to significant tax savings on death, and ensure that your wishes are carried out.

TBI also has offices in Hartlepool, Stockton and Barnard Castle.
