I'm glad you found this useful. As for the commercial awareness component of the interview, it's important to remember that nobody is expecting you to know everything. As you progress in your career and find your specialty, you'll realise you know very little about other areas of law because it does not concern your work or interest you. So, its better to have a limited understanding of what's generally going on, and being able to deduce how that would affect your work. As such, I would say the strategy behind tackling this conversation in an interview is to spend some time researching news that could affect the firm, its clients or its work - it should be things that you can deduce as having a deep impact on that firm in particular e.g affects an industry they focus on, a practice area they make the most money off etc. Usually, the firm tackles concerns/impact in their annual reports or press releases, so that serves as a good skeleton to identify what they're most pressing concerns are. For each one you find, think about that impact, and how the firm could benefit from it or rise above it, what solutions would suggest and why? Personally, I created an excel sheet and kept adding on through the course of the week leading up to my interview and just read into this to solidify my understanding, so that when it came to talking it through - I could do so naturally.</blockquote>
