LexisNexis Under 40 National Recognition 2023

Silvester Legal is proud to announce that our very own Siraj Shaik Aziz has been honoured with the LexisNexis UNDER 40 National Recognition Award.

Siraj’s journey in the legal field began with a focus on criminal defence, where he passionately served as a Criminal Legal Aid Scheme (CLAS) Fellow.
