Beyond the headlines: Building commercial awareness that works
Commercial awareness is one of the most talked-about - and misunderstood - skills law firms look for. But what does it actually mean, and how do you develop it as a student?
In this workshop, we’ll break down what commercial awareness looks like in a legal context and give you practical tools to start building it.
From identifying key industries to tracking current events and analysing stories with a legal lens, this session will help you move beyond the buzzword and build habits that firms really value.
