Hi, I actually have 'Commercial Law Handbook'. I would say it's super helpful in that it covers both commercial awareness and interview prep. For commercial awareness, it goes into detail about how law firms make profit, how contracts are formed, the process of starting and growing a business, the anatomy of an acquisition, etc. It also looks at financial statements like balance sheets which you might be given during an AC. As for interview prep, there's a section dedicated specifically to different stages of an AC, like team presentations or negotiation exercises. All in all, I would recommend because it covers the breadth of the entire application process!

Thanks! I've put in an order for it on Amazon now.
