- News & Insights
What has been your highlight at gunnercooke so far?
Attending my first Symposium, where all the Partners at the firm meet up for a few days in Oxford, and playing viola (an instrument I have never touched before) live in a firm “orchestra”. It was anything but a Bitter Sweet Symphony, far better sounding than it ought to have been, and a decent example of how we can work together as one.
What do you wish you could tell yourself 1 year ago?
Relax, it will work out, and don’t panic. Make sure you try to develop contacts within gunnercooke, the firm has a freshness, can do spirit and positive atmosphere so really try to take advantage of it.
Is there anything that you’d love to accomplish in the coming years?
I would love to be elected as an MP. The beauty of gunnercooke is having the flexibility to pursue other careers and avenues that you wouldn’t be able to in a traditional firm.
What do you remember about your first day/week/month?
My first week was discombobulating. I left my old firm on the Sunday, was unemployed on the bank holiday Monday, started at gunnercooke on the Tuesday, stood as a candidate in local elections on the Thursday and was elected on the Friday. So, from no job to two jobs in four days!
