It’s enough to provide a clear, focused answer without being too brief or overly long.For answering "Please tell us why you believe commercial awareness is an important skill for a successful lawyer", your structure is on the right track but I recommend:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Rather than a basic definition, explain that commercial awareness means understanding the client’s business environment, industry trends, and economic factors that influence their decisions. Describe how it enables lawyers to tailor legal solutions that align with clients’ business goals, not just legal compliance, adding practical value. Also, highlight how being commercially aware builds trust, helps anticipate client needs, and supports long-term partnerships and firm growth.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Share a real experience where your commercial awareness helped identify risks or opportunities and improved the client’s outcome.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Link back to how your commercial awareness will help you contribute effectively specifically as a trainee at the firm.</li> </ul>Hope this helps <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
