In a significant development for Cheshire’s Manleys, a law firm with specialisation in commercial litigation and media law, George Leeming has made the admirable transition from paralegal to qualified solicitor.
George’s initial role at Manleys as a paralegal laid the foundation for his remarkable journey, leading to a training contract and his recent qualification as a solicitor, now proudly serving in this role at the firm.
His work now spans commercial litigation, sports law, and the drafting of commercial contracts, with Mark Manley, the Managing Director, hailing him as a ‘valuable member of the team’.
Highlighting George’s accomplishments, Mr Manley expressed, “George has really impressed from early on with us. He has undertaken some fabulous work particularly in the sports arena from assisting on a successful appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, drafting agreements for pre-season friendly matches for a Premier League club, and working on an injunction application for an England international footballer.
“He has quicky developed a rapport with some of our football agent clients and has assisted on a number of player transfer transactions and some contract issues. He is a valuable member of the team, and we are delighted he has chosen to continue his career development with the firm.”
