Latimer Hinks lawyer retired after 49 years

Latimer Hinks Solicitors in Darlington celebrate the retirement of the longest-serving member of staff.

In 1963 Mary Everitt joined Priestgate company based on three-month trial. "They never told me if I pass!" He says - and 49 years later he has seen major changes in the way law is practiced and is involved in cases of importance to the local area.

After arriving as a junior secretary, Everitt worked with several well-known lawyer of the city, including Charles Hinks, Eric Marsham and, for 21 years, Tony Little.

When Anne Elliott joined the company in 1976 Everitt has helped him to promote and expand an established private client department of Latimer Hinks', still head of Elliott. The two worked together until retirement Everitt and will continue to have a close relationship, because he served as a personal assistant to Elliott related to its role under the Sheriff of Palatine County Durham.

Everitt admitted wrench to leave, "Latimer Hinks has always been based and prides itself on personal service to continue," he said. "It's very much a family company in the context of providing several generations of families."
