As someone who was once an international student in the UK himself, he offered an incredibly insightful and grounded perspective on navigating the legal profession as a non-UK national. What stood out to me was how solution-oriented and motivating he was. He didn’t sugarcoat the realities of the path but instead shared actionable steps that could genuinely help someone like me start building a reputation in this field. His guidance left me feeling more informed, empowered, and focused on how to take the next steps forward."

As an international postgraduate student seeking to maximize their limited time on a student visa in the UK, Gordon's advice (which comes from authentic experience, personal accomplishment and subsequent training to multiple students floating in the same boat) has helped me strategize and prioritize the myriad objectives that I have in order to establish myself as an international commercial lawyer in the UK. And I would highly recommend other international students with similar context and ambition to reach out to him as well."
