I love your perspective of how firms can think about increasing their revenue. This is a great way to think about commercial awareness because I found that as a law student I thought commercial awareness only involved deals. But now as a trainee I’m understanding more and more the general business needs of the firm including the ways that they generate revenue. Great video 👏🏾
Thank you Steph! I was in a similar position to you where I was just thinking about things like Brexit or high profile mergers that I didn't really start appreciating commercial awareness from this perspective until I started working.
Thank you Sanjana! I know most lawyers think Suits is highly inaccurate but I still enjoy it 😂 and thought it was a good way to get my point across! Glad you found the video insightful 🥰
Hi Shannon, this was great, thank you! I'm trying to find out more about remote working possibilities for aspiring solicitors, in light of the new SQE/QWE pathway - do you think it will be possible to work from home as a trainee? P.S I'm looking forward to your APIL webinar on Thursday!
Hi Siobhan! I definitely think it is a possibility, different employers have different policies in relation to remote working, I am personally able to choose where I want to work, so I could only work from home if that was my preference. See you at the webinar :)
Thanks for the detailed video, but the main aim of a lawyer should be to create justice and not revenue. It is a very ‚psychologically underdeveloped‘ way of thinking which these law firms seem to have? Not fit for a modern, fair world.
the structure and detail in this video is a1 👏🏽
Thank youu 🥺🥺
