GIANTS co-Captain Phil Davis recently spent a day with Slater & Gordon Lawyers doing work experience in their Sydney offices.

Davis is currently studying a Bachelor of Commerce at Sydney University with the view to go on and complete a Law degree.

Davis spent time working with the Slater & Gordon team across a number of areas, including Worker’s Compensation, Asbestos Litigation and the Motor Vehicle Accident Division.

By spending the day with Slater & Gordon, Davis has received an overview of the legal work undertaken within each division and the day-to-day work of a lawyer, which he says was of huge benefit.

“I think planning for your future is very important, especially in football,” said Davis.

“There has to be a life after football and I’m big on planning ahead and the work experience at Slater & Gordon has helped me have a look at this side of the corporate world.

 “It’s great to have Slater & Gordon as the major partner of our Academy as they’re really helping to develop the young talent in our zone and you look at this week's NAB AFL Rising Star Zac Williams for example who’s come through the Slater & Gordon GIANTS academy and is now playing some really good footy in the AFL,” he said.
