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?

A new agreement between the UK and EU marks a shift toward closer cooperation, with promises of economic growth, cheaper goods and easier cross-border movement. But for lawyers and businesses, the real story lies in the detail. From contract revisions to regulatory changes, there's plenty for law firms to assist clients with across sectors like food, transport, education and manufacturing.
