For example, regularly reading legal or business news (even just a few articles a week!), listening to legal or commercial podcasts during commutes, and attending webinars or open days when they come up. When I was working full-time during my placement year, I made it a habit to listen to the FT Daily News Briefing podcast on my commute, and I attended a few open days for areas of law or firms I was interested in.Some people also find it helpful to follow a couple of sectors that they are interested in and keep an eye on major deals, disputes, or regulatory changes in that sector. This is a good way to build commercial awareness organically over time without it feeling like another "application task".It is definitely important to remember that it doesn't have to be anything huge or time-intensive, and often regular engagement will be the most beneficial in the long-run <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
