Commercial awareness workshops
Our Commercial Awareness Success workshops will afford you the invaluable opportunity to get one step ahead of other potential candidates and transform your prospects of achieving a training contract with a top law firm and advance your career.
Why should you attend our commercial awareness workshops?
The leading law firms search for talented students with a comprehensive portfolio of skills, but – above all – they want you to be commercially aware, because lawyers in all sectors of the legal profession need to be commercial in outlook and more skilled than ever before in order to meet the requirements of modern legal practice. Commercial awareness is frequently highlighted as the key characteristic sought by graduate recruitment, and law firms and chambers often report that a lack of commercial awareness is often the reason for many otherwise able students being unsuccessful. Our workshop seminars address and solve all of the challenges that many students and graduates have when it comes to commercial awareness.
What will you learn? Our commercial awareness success workshops will help you to achieve differentiation and a competitive advantage in your career journey. Our workshops will help you define, develop and demonstrate commercial awareness to potential employers. Most importantly, our sessions will enable you to become more commercially minded and confident in your ability and understanding of how to answer the following questions:
What is commercial awareness and why does it matter?
What do you need to know to be commercially aware and how do you develop it?
How do you demonstrate commercial awareness to employers? We provide practical career strategies on how to showcase your commercial awareness at the CV/cover letter, application form stage, assessment centres (The Business Case Study) and interviews with partners.
