This conversation has transformed the way I think about commercial awareness. I always thought it was a barrier to getting training contracts and solicitor jobs.

But in actual fact, understanding what is going on in the news and applying it to law and your firm/ prospective firm is one of the most underrated and successful ways you can stand out and be seen in your firm even as a junior or in an application process.

This episode is vital for you if you want to build a successful career in law. Noone is talking about how you can leverage commercial awareness in your career.

We talk about how the commercial awareness requirement in applications can be a barrier for many people. And, how many lawyers can use it to their advantage.

Today I'm chatting with Idin Sabahipour, founder of LittleLaw.
