Commercial awareness is a critical skill for aspiring lawyers, having this knowledge will aid you in interviews, assessment centres and in your future career. It is not something you can learn just by reading the newspaper! 

This event aims to give you insight into working as a lawyer in the fast-paced and dynamic international banking and corporate industry, while also teaching the importance of commercial awareness and the management of legal risk in the commercial world more generally.
