Attorney Jonathan M. Parisi Receives Outstanding Young Lawyer Award
Jonathan M. Parisi with GBA President Gerald L. Walden, Jr.
During the February 2024 member meeting, the GBA bestowed upon Jonathan M. Parisi the inaugural Outstanding Young Lawyer Award. This award is bestowed upon an attorney with fewer than 10 years of practice experience who is a member in good standing of the North Carolina State Bar and an active member of both the GBA and YLS. This individual exhibits: (i) professional excellence; (ii) service to the profession and the bar; (iii) service to the community; and (iv) a reputation for advancing legal ethics, personal professionalism and professional responsibility.
Parisi holds a B.S. degree in Business Administration and Law from Western Carolina University (2016), a law degree from Elon Law (2018), and an MBA from Elon University (2020). During his time in law school, Parisi served as a clerk at Carruthers & Roth and The Carroll Companies, while also contributing to Elon Law’s Small Business and Entrepreneurship Clinic.
Since 2020, Parisi has been a valued member of Spangler Estate Planning law firm, specializing in estate planning and probate matters. Despite his relatively brief four-year tenure in the legal field, Parisi has swiftly established himself as an integral figure in the Guilford County community. He has actively participated in the Young Lawyer Section (YLS) as a Board Member and demonstrated exceptional leadership within the GBA, notably chairing the Newsletter/Media Committee for approximately two years. Moreover, Parisi’s speaking engagement at a GBA member meeting in Spring of 2023 showcased his remarkable abilities and marked him as one of the most junior attorneys to present before the membership.
Congratulations to Attorney Jonathan M. Parisi; his contributions have undoubtedly enriched both the GBA and YLS.
