SBCF Thanks Firm Administrator Paul Kanjorski

/by

We’d like to give a shout-out to SBCF Firm Administrator Paul Kanjorski, who helps keep the firm on track with a wealth of knowledge and expertise from his 20-plus years of experience. Paul has managed financial, bookkeeping, administrative and human resource functions in various corporate settings, including law firms and other professional services. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in History & Political Science from Albright College in Reading, Pennsylvania. He also has been honored as the 2018 Member of the Year by the Suncoast Chapter of ALA.

During his first two-and-a-half years, Paul has advanced the firm’s forward-thinking mentality by partnering the latest technology with the firm’s already compassionate and professional law practice. These efforts were tried during COVID-19 in March when the firm overnight moved 75 percent of its operations to remote. The technology was tested and performed almost seamlessly, allowing the firm to continue to serve its clients without disruption. Paul’s efforts, along with the full support of the firm’s leadership, are laying the foundation for the next 15 years of SBCF Law. Thank you, Paul, for being a key part of the SBCF team.
