Join us for this week's Commercial Awareness Compass, a free weekly virtual session designed to help you develop the commercial mindset top law firms are looking for.
What's on the agenda?
Corporate clients are no longer asking if law firms use AI, they’re demanding to know how. As clients begin measuring AI-readiness as a key scoring point, firms are under pressure to adopt tools that promise efficiency, value, and competitive edge. This episode breaks down the shift from hype to expectation, the real risks and rewards of generative AI in legal work, and how in-house teams are reshaping the market – all through a SWOT lens built for commercial lawyers in the making.
What is the Compass?
Each Wednesday, a future trainee solicitor and an expert lawyer will guide you through one major news story, breaking it down from beginner to advanced levels. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of how the story impacts the legal industry and beyond, equipping you with the insights needed to stand out in applications and interviews.

- Live 30-Minute Session: A structured breakdown of a key story with expert analysis.
