[QUOTE="ashwright, post: 214651, member: 29878"] Quick question about commercial awareness! Even though I regularly read the FT + listen to FT adjacent podcasts, I still find myself lacking a lot of the foundations of commercial awareness. I read most of 'All You Need to Know about the City' a couple of years ago and made loads of flashcards - I found this super helpful in learning the basic ideas of profit, debt, shares, M&A etc. I wanted to check if you guys have any recommendations for similar resources which help build the foundations? I'd appreciate anything with a 1.) similar general finance theme and/or 2.) a similar beginner's guide more geared towards law + practice areas. A more 'law-specific' resource would be nice because I'm not super familiar with practice areas etc. Reading law firms' website descriptions of practice areas is a bit more ambiguous than I'd like. Investopedia is great but a more structured resource (e.g., course, book) would be preferred! I know the TCLA offers courses but I'm not too sure which would be best for my very basic needs. Thank you in advance! [/QUOTE]
