City and commercial law firms expect law students to have legal commercial awareness . Having as much legal commercial awareness as possible is critical for your future success at interviews, assessment centres, and your career. Legal commercial awareness is not something you can learn from just reading the newspapers.
The Introduction to Legal Commercial Awareness in person presentation will give you an insight into working as a lawyer in the dynamic, fast paced international banking/ corporate environment and the importance of legal commercial awareness together with management of legal risk in the commercial world more generally. The presentation is interactive - you will be participating in a case study group exercise and answering questions.
The presentation will be given by Mr Denis Viskovich. Mr Viskovich is a dual qualified Australian and English lawyer with over twenty years of experience working for investment banks and companies in the City of London and Mayfair. He was Head of the DCM Legal Department at a large investment bank - where he was involved with multi-million dollar deals in emerging markets such as Russia , Kazakhstan , Pakistan, and South Africa. He then became the Managing Director of an advisory company in Mayfair.
