Pinsent Masons Application 2019/20
Hi All, Is anyone else struggling with the main spare time interests question? I feel like the answers I've given for similar questions on other applications seem more geared towards demonstrating soft skills whereas this one appears to want to get to know you as an individual - it's actually...- KS94

Commercial Awareness - April 2018
Thanks for the responses above guys - appreciate them! Quick question in respect of the GDPR. Do these changes affect the business acceptance teams at all? I'm thinking in terms of compliance?

Just managed to skim read. With all the information collated it really does begin to build the foundations of commercial awareness.

Commercial awareness for 'smaller' law firms

Commercial awareness for 'smaller' law firms
Hi everyone, One of the key things with the commercial awareness updates on here is that students get an idea of what to look out for, how to analyse news stories and then how this may affect firms. However, a lot of the content on this site seems (I may be wrong) geared towards magic/silver...- KS94
