William Smith-Brix

Before joining Tees, I worked as a Paralegal in Commercial Property and Construction Litigation at a Cambridge law firm. In 2015, I graduated with a Business and Retail Management Degree from The University of Surrey, Guildford. After a few years of Company Governance and Consultancy roles I found a passion in law and in 2024 graduated with a master’s in law (LLM) with Distinction from the University of Law.

I spent a number of years during my degree acting as a Mental Health advisor and in 2021 sat on the Surrey Junior Lawyers Division as a Wellbeing Officer, helping aspiring Lawyers through the difficulties navigating the pandemic. I find that whatever the issue, empathy and compassion always come first.

I have a variety of hobbies and interests outside of work. I am currently learning Full Stack web development to build a better understanding of the programming we use every day. I practice martial arts at an Aikido club in Cambridge. I also have an interest in circus skills and have performed fire spinning at local venues and festivals. I am sure to pick up more as I love to learn new things.
