What students are saying

Feedback from students prepping for Vacation Schemes and Training Contracts at top firms.

Fifteen minutes a day is more than enough. The flashcards keep topics fresh between when I learn them and when I need them. It's the consistency that makes the difference.

Final year, University of Nottingham

The weekly news summaries saved me hours. I stopped trying to read everything and focused on what mattered.

LPC student, BPP Manchester

Got my Linklaters TC after my second cycle. Last year I blanked on commercial questions. This year I didn't.

Law graduate, University of Edinburgh

I've used a lot of commercial awareness resources. Nothing else has been this focused on what actually matters. You learn what firms want and skip the rest.

Final year, King's College London

The private equity pack explained leveraged buyouts in 20 minutes. I had been confused for months.

Penultimate year, University of Bristol

You can tell it was built by people who've done this. The packs cover what actually comes up at firms, not generic commercial trivia. It's the only study tool I've kept using past a few weeks.

GDL student, City Law School

Stopped subscribing to four different legal newsletters. This covers everything I actually need.

Penultimate year, University of Warwick

The scenario quizzes are very helpful. They push me to apply what I learned, not just read and then forget.

Final year, University of Durham

I stopped reading every commercial news source under the sun. The packs cover the frameworks firms actually care about. Far more efficient than scrolling the FT every morning.

Final year, University of Manchester

SOUND FAMILIAR?

Commercial awareness
should not be difficult

Most law students read too much of the wrong stuff. They don't need more. They need what actually matters, and how it connects to firms and their clients.

Nobody tells you where to start

Every firm asks for it. None of them tell you what it means or what to read. So you piece it together from wherever you can and hope it's enough.

Reading more, learning less

You read the FT religiously, subscribe to all the newsletters and sign up to the forums, but still feel lost. You don't know what law firms expect, or how much you need to know.

FT is not enough

Partners don't ask you to recite the news. They ask what it means for clients, what work it creates, and what you think. Reading is the easy part.
