Angelina Theopistou

I recently completed a degree in Law and Criminology at the University of Sheffield and am eager to begin my legal career as a paralegal in Manchester. Through work experience at YVA Solicitors, I have developed a strong interest in real estate law. I am now looking to join a supportive law firm where I can continue to learn, take on meaningful responsibilities, and work as part of a team.
