Law firm promotes trainee solicitor to partner

Law firm Ellis Jones has recently promoted Paul Kanolik to partner. Paul joined the banking & finance litigation department at Ellis Jones in 2012 to finish his training before qualifying as a solicitor.

Paul deals with a wide variety of disputes, including complex and high value claims relating to mis-selling, fraud and breach of contracts.

Of his promotion, Paul said: 'I am privileged to have had the opportunity to work and develop at Ellis Jones, being initially promoted to associate solicitor in 2015, and then senior associate solicitor in 2017. Many of the firm’s partners have followed a similar journey to me, having trained and then progressed at Ellis Jones. I am delighted to be joining them as a fellow partner and very much look forward to helping the firm and our clients continue to grow and succeed in the years ahead.'

Nigel Smith, managing partner and also a former trainee, said: 'Paul’s appointment to the partnership is thoroughly deserved and the clearest possible recognition of his hard work and dedication to the firm.'
