Michaela De Paola

Legal Executive

I am a Legal Executive in our property department, having graduated with the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives (GCILEX) in 2020.

I joined Buckles in November 2013, initially as a member of the business support team, and the firm enabled me to develop my expertise and progress in my role. I soon became a Team Assistant in the property department and was the first line of contact for many clients.

In March 2017, I was promoted to Paralegal supporting the property team – with a particular focus on the social housing shared ownership practice.

My hobbies include dog-walking, going to the gym and enjoying a few cocktails at the weekend!
