I feel you brother (or sister!), I’m waiting on Simmons (Bristol office), Latham and bakers. I’m also second year non-law so my stress is way less well-founded than yours 😂😂. You’re gonna smash it and I promise you you did better than you think you did.You’re so kind, thank you for this!

Best of luck and I hope we get the tcs we want❤️
Search up a law firm on spotify. They all have podcasts. Scroll their recent releases until you find one either on an area of law that interests you, you understand based on the title, or which fits the specialisms of the firm you're interviewing at.I have an AC coming up with bird and bird and was wondering if anybody has a recommendations for commercial awareness podcasts/podcasts that would help me keep on top of it? Currently battling my diss and don’t have the time to get really deep into reading articles but listening to a podcast would help, I’ve just no idea what to pick! I tried the FT news briefing but couldn’t understand what half of it meant or how it could apply to law! Any advice would be appreciated
hi, did you ever get a response to this? I am wondering whether to properly and in depth prepare commercial awareness responses too!
Yes me too! I’ve prepared one topic and its relevance to the firm anyways but it’ll be beneficial to know if I should focus on this a bit more! Thank you
Degree apprenticeship!
All you need to know about the city is a great book for understanding terminology and how things like interest and bonds work in a practical sense - highly recommend it even if some of it will be a little outdatedI have an AC coming up with bird and bird and was wondering if anybody has a recommendations for commercial awareness podcasts/podcasts that would help me keep on top of it?

@Ferran_ I also struggled with this initially, I think on face value (at least from resources that are available to the public) it is often very difficult to differentiate some firms from others. Like sure, they have a particular expertise in PE but which top firm doesn’t?
Hey @rjh2001 it’s a good start to focus on their strong sectors and suggest a new office in an emerging market – to be honest, it’s probably how I would approach the answer too, and I agree it is best to focus on one sector/office location here. As for the explanation as to how their office locations support their work and client relationships, you’re right that the reasons you provided are general but they are true and most likely the key reasons many firms actually do this to begin with (other than tax efficiency).
