Plumpton High School Business Studies, Legal Studies, Economics and Commerce students provided a unique opportunity to hear from two industry recognised experts in Law and Banking/Finance.
Both Laina and Matthew were able to share with our students insights about practicing Law and Banking, their journeys and the reality of working in these industries. They also gave advice about what students should focus on should they wish to pursue these industries as career options.
Laina Chan is a Barrister, Author, and the Co Secretary of the Society of Construction Law Australia. She is recognised as the leading expert in Australia on the interplay between construction and insurance law, Laina specialises in property law and complex commercial dispute resolution. She co-authored with Prof J W Carter the seminal work on Contract and the Australian Consumer Law, Federation Press, 2019.
Matthew Hunt is the Head of Fixed Income Trading at Macquarie Group and also a Law and Science graduate.
Thank you to Laina and Matthew for sharing their expertise with our students assisting them in making informed decisions and navigating the complex world beyond school.
