OUR PURPOSE

Why We Do This

We speak to students for one reason: the gap between what law and business school teaches and what practice actually looks like is wide, and closing it helps the next generation choose their path with clear eyes. Every session is educational — no cost, no recruiting pitch, no sales angle. Just an honest look at the work from someone doing it.

TOPICS

What Gavin Can Speak On

Sessions are 30–45 minutes plus Q&A, tailored to your organization's focus. Popular topics:

  • What commercial real estate law actually looks like in practice — the deals, the disputes, and the dayto-day.
  • Business litigation 101 — from dispute to resolution, and what really happens between filing and outcome.
  • Building a career across transactional and litigation work — how to think about focus, and why the line blurs in practice.
  • Real property, landlord–tenant & commercial deals in Florida — ideal for RPPTL and real-property societies.

Don't see your angle? We'll build a session around your members' interests.
