Top Tip
When reading and building your commercial awareness, try to think further and beyond the story for example these are some of the questions that I ask:
- Who are the players in this story and what businesses and industries are affected by this news?
- Taking the first bullet point into account, how does this change or development affect how a business might operate?
- If a law firm was serving this type of business/client what does this change mean in relation to the type of work that the firm may end up doing?
