Commercial awareness is a key skill law firms look for in future trainees, but how can you demonstrate it effectively in your applications? Join Osborne Clarke for a practical session exploring what commercial awareness really means, why it matters to law firms and how to develop your understanding of the business world. You'll learn how to connect commercial developments to the work lawyers do, showcase your knowledge in written applications and interviews, and use commercial awareness to stand out to recruiters.
