“The society’s workshops, firm talks and networking events, including sessions with major law firms, made commercial awareness feel much more accessible. One of the most impactful experiences was getting hands-on practise through the society’s sponsorship initiative, where we learned to research brands, negotiate and think commercially in a real‑world context.”

“The society has been exceptional in developing members’ commercial awareness through a range of impactful initiatives. The newsletter stands out as a consistent and reliable resource, keeping members updated on key legal and commercial developments. In addition, the society hosts events with leading City law firms nearly every other day, offering exposure to diverse practice areas and industries.”

“The society’s efforts have provided unparalleled opportunities for members to enhance their commercial awareness and knowledge of the legal industry. Efforts include its mentoring scheme, flagship commercial awareness programme and the introduction of a commercial awareness competition. The committee helps to make super intimidating topics seem less intense and give you a way into understanding everything.”

“There are so many publications aimed at improving commercial awareness, as well as guidance from career events. There are also specific competitions aimed at commercial awareness which are so beneficial.”
