IN MEMORY OF PAUL SHARMA

IN MEMORY OF

PAUL SHARMA

Paul Sharma, a Westminster and Holborn Law Society (WHLS) member and former President, sadly passed away earlier this year.

Paul was the founder and managing partner of Sharma Solicitors, a boutique employment law practice. Paul worked as a trade union official before qualifying as a solicitor. He was President of WHLS in 2020/2021, when he successfully steered the society through the end of the Covid lock downs. He also represented the Central London constituency on the national Law Society council.

Our previous President, Phil Henson, who knew Paul well said:

‘Paul will be remembered as a supportive mentor to many; a man of business with a passion for the rule of law and for the legal profession and a kind soul who loved to discuss policy and politics. He was a friend and was devoted to his family and his many clients. Using the past tense about a friend is heart breaking.

Paul was a former President of Westminster & Holborn Law Society and was incredibly kind to me in offering tips and guidance when I took on the presidency of that role years later.

I also worked with Paul as a fellow council member of the The Law Society where he was a passionate advocate for the rights of solicitors.

Losing Paul is a great loss to all who knew him and to the legal profession.’

The thoughts of all of us at WHLS are with Paul’s wife and children and his wider family and friends.
