Crutes has appointed an assistant solicitor to work on a number of new instructions which the firm has recently acquired.
Katherine Hannah will work in the firm’s litigation department specialising in defending health and safety prosecutions. She has spent the last nine months as a Crown Prosecutor in London with the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).
Having studied an LLB (Hons) degree at Durham University, Katherine completed placements in South Wales and Leeds through the CPS trainee solicitor programme and she became a qualified solicitor in October 2010.
Katherine says: “Crutes is a well known firm with an excellent reputation and I’m delighted to be here. Health and safety is an exciting and growing area of law and I’m really looking forward to working on a variety of private practice law cases.”
