[QUOTE="Marcus Ketley, post: 186176, member: 37260"] Afternoon! Commercial Awareness is a really interesting one. There are a plethora of materials available online (e.g LawCareers.Net Commercial Questions or LittleLaw) which focus on explaining what is going on in the legal market in a user-friendly way, therefore I would definitely recommend taking a look at these sources as we enter further into recruitment season. However, I would also say that commercial awareness does not always need to be overcomplicated... have a think about some of your key hobbies and interests, what could you find out about the laws associated with these? For example, when it comes to sports (I personally am not a huge fan!) but there are so many legal concepts involved (contracts; employment; insurance; real estate) which are easy to overlook. There is a much greater chance of you understanding the legal concepts surrounding something you are passionate about rather than jumping into the Financial Times! When identifying competitor firms, I suppose it really depends what you deem their key comparison point to be. Is it in terms of size? revenue? geography? If you want to compare key practice areas, the Legal 500 is a good place to start and this can be filtered by region. Marcus [/QUOTE]
