Family law: Life, litigation and real-world client work
What is it really like to practise family law? In this session, the BPP team will interview a panel of practising family lawyers to explore the realities of working in this challenging and deeply human area of practice. The discussion will cover the nature of the work, the skills required to succeed and the personal qualities that are particularly important when advising clients through significant life events. Students will gain a clearer understanding of the day-to-day experience of family lawyers and the routes into this rewarding specialism.

Commercial Awareness Compass
Clients and Counsel: inside the real dynamics of legal relationships with BCLP and Aviva Investors
Daniel Burnand & Jonathan Price
Published Thu, 12 Feb
This episode is part two of a two-part podcast series examining the commercial realities of a law firm from the client perspective, how firms are chosen, how relationships are built, and what drives long-term client loyalty.

What does a client look for beyond a glossy deck? How does a firm show value between deals? And which habits help juniors grow into trusted advisors?
