AN all-female law firm started by a Blackburn-born solicitor has received another feather in its cap.

Diane Rostron, of Rostrons Solicitors, based in Lytham, has been granted membership of the exclusive Law Society clinical negligence panel.

Only lawyers who have been able to demonstrate a high degree of experience and competence in dealing with criminal negligence claims are asked to join the panel.

Diane, 34, lived in Blackburn as a child before moving out of the area.

The firm is set to open an associate office in Blackburn shortly.
