Rachel Benton is really excellent - highly conscientious and very astute.
I graduated from Bangor University with a first class Law degree in 2012. I originally joined Tees as part of the medical negligence team in April 2013 as a support team assistant and then as a paralegal. I attained a Distinction in the Legal Practice Course in 2017, studying part-time at BPP University in Cambridge, whilst continuing to work at Tees. I then carried out my training contract at Tees and returned to the medical negligence Team in March 2019 as a qualified solicitor.
