George Smith

Practice Manager
Alt=""

Throughout his upbringing in Kendal, George was inspired by the importance of hard work and this is something he has always tried to incorporate in his working life.

After completing a degree in Geography at Manchester Metropolitan University, George remained in the city. Having worked in several roles that required efficient organisation, he joined Barings Law in 2021.

With a well-honed analytical mind and a proven problem-solving skill set, George quickly progressed to a role as Reports and Vetting Manager, a highly-responsible position which requires a great deal of strategic multi-tasking in a fast-paced working environment.

George was appointed as Barings Law’s Practice Manager in 2023 and is responsible for establishing and maintaining high standards of service for our clients, as well as a robust support network that enables our colleagues to provide this.
