CHESTER, UK. March 22nd, 2024 – Cheshire-based commercial litigation and media law specialists Manleys are delighted that one of their home-grown talents has qualified as a solicitor.
George Leeming started out at the firm as a paralegal before quickly impressing sufficiently to be offered a training contract. He has now recently qualified and taken up a position as a solicitor with Manleys.
George is now responsible for undertaking a mix of commercial litigation, sports and commercial contract drafting work. Managing Director, Mark Manley, has described him as a ‘valuable member of the team’.
Mr Manley said: “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.”
