Meet Areeba 🇦🇪 Law Graduate from University of Warwick
From Struggling With ACs -> Secured Training Contract at CMS’s Dubai office
“Working with Gordon truly changed my approach to interviews this cycle.
Through our mock interviews, Gordon was able to quickly identify both my strengths and weaknesses. I found it particularly valuable that he provided very precise feedback on areas where I was falling short, especially in my approach to case studies, and offered clear, practical guidance on how to improve them.
Gordon also provided excellent advice on broader interview strategy. He is extremely personable and has a strong ability to accurately pinpoint your weaknesses and help you develop them very quickly.
Beyond the technical aspects, Gordon significantly helped build my confidence in interviews. Developing the right mindset made a huge difference to my performance, and I am very grateful for the support he provided throughout the process!”

❌ She was not based in the UK, but wanted to become a lawyer there but didn’t know how.

From Never Getting Past Application Stage -> Secured Vacation Scheme at a Leading International Law Firm in the UK
“Gordon is someone who is genuinely invested in his mentees’ success, it never feels transactional and it always feels like he truly wants you to do well. The materials he provided in his coaching sessions are tailored and grounded in real-life experience too.
What makes him stand out is that he understands the process deeply, esp as someone who has had to put in extra effort himself, including facing the challenges that can come with being an international candidate. And because of that, he is able to resonate and offer strategic advice!
Gordon is also honest and direct when pointing out weaknesses, and he’ll always follow up with clear ways to improve. After each session, I left feeling clearer, and noticeably more confident about my approach. There’s once when I progressed to the next stage of application and needed advice at short notice, he immediately offered to arrange a call. I genuinely appreciated how responsive and accommodating he was during such crucial stage. 🙏🏼
Securing a TC is difficult and everyone in law knows how competitive the process can be. I would highly recommend Gordon to anyone who is navigating rejections or looking to strengthen their applications with structured and experience-led guidance. 🙌🏼”

✅ Successfully landed vacation scheme at one of the top international law firms in the UK 4 months after starting our BigLaw Academy programme.
✅ Praised by the Graduate Recruitment Team for her video interview performance and thus she was among the earliest batch to receive an offer.

From Stuttering and Coming Off Robotic at Interviews -> Secured Vacation Scheme at a Top Global Law Firm in London
“The biggest takeaway for me was just how much Gordon helped improve my interview skills. I used to stutter a lot during video interviews and came across as robotic and unnatural. But working with Gordon completely changed my approach. We focused on making my delivery more confident and calm, and that made a real difference. In the end, I was able to progress through multiple stages across several applications!”
Key Results:

❌ She was getting some law firm interviews but unable to land offers.
❌ She stuttered a lot and her mind sometimes went blank during video interviews; she found it uncomfortable to speak in front of cameras.
❌ She came off unnatural and robotic at interviews, but didn’t know how to fix that.
❌ She was also juggling law firm applications with a full-time paralegal role as an international applicant.
After:
✅ Once we identified her weak points in interviews, we conducted multiple mock interview practices to completely rebuild her approach to interview preparation.
✅ She gradually mastered a more natural and authentic presentation style that helped her build rapport with interviewers.
✅ Successfully passed video interviews for the first time after a long while.
✅ Successfully landed 4+ assessment centres and a vacation scheme offer at a top global law firm in London 3 months after starting our BigLaw Academy programme.

From Struggling with Written Exercises/Case Study Interviews -> Secured Vacation Scheme at Arnold & Porter’s London office

Meet this 🇭🇰International Masters Student
From Feeling Not Worthy of Bigger Firms -> Secured Vacation Scheme at Eversheds Sutherland’s London office
“I am grateful you have provided many insights into the legal industry, especially international firms. You have also pushed me to get out of my comfort zone. I have not thought about the things you mentioned regarding the consequences of finding a permanent paralegal role, which I am now going to consider more deeply before applying for more positions.
Most importantly, thank you so much for your encouragement and recognition. I am delighted and honoured to be acknowledged by some experienced and senior legal professionals like you!
Thank you so much for the session, and I would not hesitate to recommend you to my friends and other aspiring solicitors!”
