George Odysseos

Paralegal

George joined Olliers as a member of the support team in April 2023. He progressed to the DBS department in January 2024 as a paralegal.

Before joining Olliers, George studied History at Manchester Metropolitan University, where he graduated with a First Class Honours BA. He then went on to complete a Master’s degree in History with Distinction, before being awarded a PhD in History from the University of Manchester. Alongside his studies, George also taught at the University of Manchester and was awarded an Associate Fellowship.

George’s strengths lie in his ability to process complex information and convincingly put forward an argument. These skills are well suited to the role of a paralegal, particularly in terms of drafting representations.
