LEGAL firm Thomas Guise has welcomed three new paralegals to its team.

Ali Maqadas joins the ever expanding conveyancing department supporting both Stuart Bailey and Emma Owen on both commercial and residential property matters. Laura Willis is working with Amanda Pillinger and Geoff Ellis on employment law and litigation matters, while Marco Lau supports Nancy Hai with the Chinese business sector.

Mr Maqadas said: "This position gives me great exposure into both areas of property, both commercial and residential. The environment I work in is open plan, which gives me the opportunity to learn from others’ experience and share my own experiences. My colleagues are very helpful and understanding and give me a lot of their time in order for me to understand the legal procedures of property/commercial transactions.”

Amanda Pillinger, Guise's HR director, added: "As part of our continued commitment to growth and excellence we can offer career opportunities for candidates looking to be part of an innovative and developing law firm and the addition of these paralegals proves just that.”
