This session offers an introduction to commercial awareness and why it is an important skill for aspiring lawyers. Attendees will gain a better understanding of what commercial awareness means, how it applies in the legal profession and why law firms value it.
Attendees will also learn how commercial awareness can support training contract applications, help them prepare for assessment days and interviews and enable them to demonstrate a stronger understanding of the legal and business world.
Whether participants are beginning to explore a career in law or preparing applications, this session will provide practical insights to help them feel more confident and informed throughout the recruitment process.
