[QUOTE="KLaw125, post: 2831, member: 358"] Hello everyone, Firstly, this is a great thread idea for finding an appropriate commercial awareness resource. I would advise that anyone improving their commercial awareness should find what works for them. From my personal experience I have found podcasts an amazing way to stay up to date with the general, legal and business stories. This enables me to understand key commercial issues and several opinions. Below is a list of podcasts I have found useful: [U]Business/Financial Podcasts: [/U] [LIST] [*]BBC 5 Wake up to Money [*]Business Matters [*]Bloomberg Daybreak [*]The Economist Week ahead [*]Deal of the Week by Bloomberg News [*]Benchmark by Bloomberg News [*]McKinsey on Finance Podcasts by McKinsey [*]The Twenty Minute VC: Venture Capital by Harry Stebbings [*]The Bottom Line by BBC Radio 4 [*]Exchanges at Goldman Sachs by Goldman Sachs [/LIST] [U]Legal Podcasts:[/U] [LIST] [*]The Real Deal Podcast by CMS Law [*]The Allen & Overy Podcast -by A&O [*]The Law Firm Leadership Podcast by Chris Batz & The Lion Group [*]Law Technology Now by Legal Talk Network [*]Currents by Norton Rose Fulbright [*]Dealcast: M&A, ECM and Activism News by Dealreporter Europe [*]Herbert Smith Freehills Podcasts by HSF [*]Law in Action by BBC Radio 4 [*]Legal Currents by Thomas Reuters Legal [*]The Freshfields Podcast by Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer [*]The Lawyers Weekly Show by Lawyers Weekly [/LIST] Though this is an extensive list, I would advise listening to something that works for you. Don't overload yourself with superficial details. Develop an overview of the commercial world and expertise in certain topics/industries. For instance, if you are interested in a certain sector, invest time in learning more in-depth understanding of the trends and issues that key companies are challenged by. Then, as [USER=1]@Jaysen[/USER] has consistently shown through his posts, apply the client issues in a legal context. This type of thinking is what law firms want and will be tested at interviews. Hope this helps! :D [/QUOTE]
