Sixth form Law students visitor

This week our Year 12 and 13 Law students were fortunate to welcome Guner Gumus, a practising solicitor, who delivered an engaging and inspiring talk about his journey into law.

Guner spoke about what first inspired him to pursue a legal career, his study path through university and professional training, and the realities of life as a solicitor. Students were particularly interested in hearing about his day-to-day responsibilities, the skills required to succeed in the profession and the importance of determination and resilience when entering such a competitive field.

He praised our students for their excellent behaviour, insightful questions and genuine enthusiasm for the subject, commenting on how impressed he was by their focus and maturity.

Following his visit, Guner has kindly offered two students the opportunity to complete a one-week work shadowing placement at the firm he works in during the Christmas holidays. This placement will allow students to gain first-hand experience of legal practice and strengthen future university or apprenticeship applications.

We are very grateful to Guner for his time, generosity and commitment to supporting our students’ career aspirations.
