After a successful first four years of trading, Darlington-based law firm Donna Sandall Family Law has moved into a new office.

The firm, which specialises in family and matrimonial law, is now based at Innovation Central, in John Williams Boulevard South, near to Darlington Train Station.

The £8 million office development was opened in 2022 with the aim of encouraging and supporting the growth and development of innovative businesses in the town.

It was jointly funded by Darlington Borough Council, the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), £3.55million from the Tees Valley Mayor and Combined Authority, and the Government’s Getting Building Fund.

Donna Sandall, who has over two decades’ experience as solicitor, said Innovation Central offers many opportunities.

She said: “The building is very impressive and located close to the town centre and just a few minutes’ walk away from the train station.

“It benefits from free parking for visitors, a welcoming reception area, and it’s great to be able to informally network with other business owners who also have a base at the site.

“It’s bright, spacious and modern and a great place to work and hold meetings with clients.”
