Brooke Gordon

I've been in the legal field for about 8 years now, working as a paralegal at Southern Company. In my role, I review contracts, NDAs, master agreements, and build templates - basically whatever the attorney needs at the time across a bunch of different types of legal agreements. Before entering law, I spent 5 years as a sales rep at Coca-Cola, but I always wanted to go to law school and was kind of bored in sales, so I made the transition. I'm very task-oriented and detail-oriented, and what I love most about my work is helping people and solving problems. I'm also a registered neutral with the Georgia Office of Dispute Resolution, serving as a court-appointed mediator. I just graduated from Atlanta's John Marshall Law School this past Saturday and I'm now preparing for the bar exam in July, studying 6 days a week, 8 to 10 hours a day. Once I pass the bar, I want to work as a sports and entertainment attorney - maybe for a sports agency, a sports team, a record label, or a firm that does sports and entertainment work. If not that, then corporate in-house work for a corporation.
