CERTAINLY doing himself justice!

That's solicitor Paul Warburton who has completed his law degree and his two-year training contract with Woodcock and Son.

He is now to join the company's commercial litigation department after working at Woodcock's offices at Bury, Bacup, Rawtenstall and Haslingden.

Mr Warburton, from Bury, has specialised in debt recovery, commercial litigation and insolvency disputes.

His appointment will allow Woodcock's commercial litigation department to expand its services to commercial clients.

Department head David McCann said: "We are especially pleased that Paul has decided to stay with us and we are confident he will contribute greatly to the department."

Mr Warburton will be based at the firm's Bury office and will deal primarily with commercial contract disputes and hopes to develop Woodcock's computerised debt recovery system.

He said: "I have been presented with a great opportunity to take on responsibility at a very early stage in my career and hope to demonstrate our firm's commitment to providing a personal, efficient and successful service to our commercial clients."

Mr Warburton was admitted as a Solicitor of the Supreme Court last month.
