[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 248890, member: 42112"] Hey! I would say that the safest approach is to prepare for both without splitting your time too rigidly! It might make sense to focus mainly on strengthening your general commercial awareness, and making sure that you understand the key trends affecting the firm’s core sectors, why they matter to clients in those areas, and how lawyers add value. Alongside that, you could practice quickly analysing a short news article by identifying the main issues, the business impact and the legal implications. Ultimately, they’ll likely be looking for you to show structured thinking and commercial awareness. As long as you have an understanding of the factors affecting the firms clients, and can analyse a business problem, you should be in a strong position. Best of luck! :) [/QUOTE]
