INSIGHTS

Hello, and welcome to our first edition of Commercial Awareness for Solicitor Apprentices(CASA). This is pitched to both aspiring and current solicitor apprentices, and is made possible thanks to the legendary and truly inspirational Dan Miller of Young Professionals. Each week we will interview a current or aspiring apprentice, explain how a piece of commercial law news can be used in your interviews, and we’ll broaden our horizons by exploring commercial law all over the world. In this debut I have also included a section on who you can follow on linkedin so you can demonstrate next level networking skills that increase your chances of being employed.
