Get to know Manzurul
Manzurul graduated from the University of Kent with a Bachelor’s Degree in Law, and went on to complete his legal qualifications by obtaining his Postgraduate Diploma in Legal Practice from the University of Law. He joined Mullis & Peake in May 2012, leaving his position as solicitor and partner at a firm in Kent.

During his time at the firm, Manzurul has built up a strong reputation and is recognised in the Legal 500 Directory as a leading lawyer.
