Young Lawyers Section: Connections

Jonathan Parisi is President of the Greensboro Bar Association’s Young Lawyers Section and Attorney at Spangler Estate Planning
My name is Jonathan M. Parisi, and I am an attorney with Spangler Estate Planning in Greensboro. I am honored to serve as President of the Young Lawyers Section for the 2025–2026 bar year, and I am excited about the opportunities ahead for our section and the young lawyers who make it thrive.
This year, our focus is threefold: (1) leading and participating in impactful community service, (2) offering valuable professional development opportunities tailored to early-career attorneys, and (3) building stronger connections across the entire bar through collaboration with other sections. We also remain committed to growth in two areas: (1) recruiting new members and (2) increasing engagement from those already involved..
Whether you’re just starting out or looking to expand your network and skillset, YLS is here to support and connect you. We can’t wait to kick off the year with our upcoming events and continue building a strong foundation for the future of our legal community!
