Manzurul Islam

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.

After nearly 15 years working as a litigation solicitor, in 2020 Manzurul Islam re-trained to lead the firm’s flourishing, multi award-winning Wills & Probate department where he specialises in estate planning and administration.

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.

“One of Manzurul Islam’s key strengths is that he really understands people and business, rather than just the law; he definitely gets it, and is a real asset to the firm.”

He and his team have also been recognised with several awards including:

• Partner of the Year – Highly Commended (Modern Law Awards, 2024)
• Team of the Year – Winner (LawNet Awards), 2024
