tHE COMMERCIAL AWARENESS PROGRAMME

The commercial awareness programme (CAP) is an exclusive opportunity for 50 undergraduate students seriously considering pursuing a career in commercial law. Drawing together some of the nation’s most prestigious law firms, students will gain an insight into what it takes to reach the very top of the profession.

CAP is entering its seventh year and is now more prepared than ever to tackle what illusively is meant by ‘commercial awareness’. The programme was created in light of the demand for students wishing to pursue commercial legal careers in the City of London, competition for which naturally (as in almost in all occupations these days) is becoming increasingly fierce. In light of this increasing demand, students must display a broad range of competencies, knowledge, understanding and experience, as well as academic achievements. Nonetheless, it is the objective of the CAP to assist students in this respect, seeking to develop an understanding of ‘commercial awareness’, the legal market generally, as well as polishing application and interview techniques to maximise chances of success in this exciting industry.

Please note that there is very strong competition to receive a place on this programme. 

Applications open 10th October 2022.
