Gabriel Brouard-Ancer

What led me to this career: Law is a field that is both intellectually stimulating and allows you to engage with people, help them with real problems, and have a positive impact on their lives. Also, the TV show Suits may have tricked me.

In my downtime I like to

Amateur runner and professional knee-pain-sufferer. I also love to read, watch weird foreign films, and try out new restaurants when I can find the time.

Recommended read

Normal People by Sally Rooney. It made me shed a few very manly tears

Favourite game

The board game Settlers of Catan – even though I’m terrible at it.

Coffee or Ice cream

Coffee and it isn’t even close.

Name one thing on your bucket list

I would love to run the New York Marathon one day.

If you could choose any person from history to be your friend, who would it be and why

Stanley Kubrick. He’s the greatest filmmaker of all time, in my opinion. I would love to pick his brain about his creative process and how he came up with the ideas for his films
