TIME AND TIME AGAIN, our clients tell us that the staff at Fairbank & Vincent is among the most intelligent, responsive, and pleasant they have ever encountered in a professional office. We agree.

Our business model features students and recent graduates from the country’s top universities in the place of career legal secretaries and paralegals. We specifically target candidates who are pursuing an interest in law school or other post-graduate study, and offer one to two-year positions in which participants learn paralegal, legal-research, and other litigation-support skills. Our goal is to serve as a “stepping stone” to future success for these individuals, while securing the highest level of legal support for our firm.

Past Legal Assistants and Paralegals - our full-time support positions - have come to us from Harvard, Yale, Wellesley, the University of Chicago, Berkeley, UCLA, UC San Diego, Penn State, Johns Hopkins, Boston College, University of Michigan and the University of Georgia.  Our current Legal Assistant team includes Anna Ghahramanyan, a 2010 graduate from the University of California at Berkeley with a B.A. degree in International Political Economy, and Lauren Saunders, a 2011 graduate from Pepperdine University with a B.S. degree in International Business.

Our current Paralegals include Alice Ip Lin, a 2009 graduate from the University of California at Berkeley with a B.A. degree in Mass Communications, and Waqas Akmal, a 2012 candidate at the University of Southern California for a B.A. degree in Political Science. They are also currently attending the University of Southern California for a Master of Public Policy.

Historically, our part-time Legal Aides have been undergraduates from local universities. Our current team members attend the University of Southern California and include Allie Farinacci (Biochemistry and Journalism), and Lauren Ige (Economics).

FORMER STAFF AT FAIRBANK & VINCENT have gone on to attend law school at Harvard, Boalt, Cornell, UCLA, USC, Boston College, Notre Dame, Fordham, Hastings, Loyola, Pepperdine, and the University of San Diego, as well as business school at UCLA and the University of North Carolina.
