Our approach to learning
Our two-hour commercial awareness workshops and career skills seminars will provide you with the perfect stepping stone towards preparing for life in legal practice. The sessions consist of a rich blend of both traditional and innovative learning methods which are at the forefront of legal training. We integrate interactive electronic learning methods, such as our e-learning and Commercial Awareness Forum, along with technology such as our online webcasts and podcasts; this is combined with the use of unrivalled levels of face-to-face learning in the form of interactive teaching, group discussions and one-to-one tailored career coaching, which makes for an effective and conducive learning environment.
You will learn that there is more to the role of a modern day lawyer than just knowing the law - you must start thinking like a commercial lawyer immediately, and show a willingness to step back and view matters from a business perspective. We help you to learn how to apply law in practice and within the context of the wider environment in which a client and law firms' operate. This will help you to increase your self-confidence and develop your interest and understanding of business, learn to think commercially, enhance your employability prospects and ability to hit the ground running once you commence your training contract.
Much of our materials and resources are based on realistic case study exercises, and our own first-hand experiences, and our guidance is delivered through the provision of useful anecdotes drawn from our own experiences. This provides you with opportunities for “learning through doing”, ensuring that you develop exceptional skills and sustainable know-how in a perfect learning environment for the modern day professional.
