Any successful lawyer understands the value of commercial awareness and this is embedded in all of our law programmes. Law firms require business savvy trainees and we work closely with over 60 exclusive law firms to offer programmes such as the MA (LPC with Business) which specifically meet the demands of current legal practice. In fact, our focus on commercial awareness doesn’t just start when you begin your studies with us, we deliver Commercial Awareness Workshops across many universities throughout the academic year. This will ensure you get the best possible head start to your legal career right at the outset of your decision making process. Commercial awareness.

Commercial awareness is key. Clients need our junior lawyers to understand their businesses, industries and sectors – therefore if our trainees have not just commercial knowledge but also a mindset where they engage with clients on their business goals, that will add significant value.

Eventually I’d like to own and run my own firm; to do that I’d need to know how to run a business. The MA (LPC with Business) will help me to achieve this. Nazia Munir, MA (LPC with Business) Graduate, Trainee Solicitor, Arden Solicitors Advocates

The value of having a business understanding in a legal career lies in the fact that a law firm ultimately is a business. In addition to doing your job more efficiently (e.g. having a stronger grasp of clients’ businesses and commercial concerns), it also helps you understand how law firms function from a macro perspective.
