Law for All Society: Commercial Awareness Officer

Hi, my name is Harry Zain-Prosser. I am currently a second year history student running for the role of Commercial Awareness Officer.

Why me?

• Though this is very generic, I keep up to date with current affairs by reading Financial Times, The Economist and Watson’s Daily.
• I have a genuine interest and experience in commerce visible in how I have managed my own successful Depop shop.
• I have attended various commercial awareness training sessions with SEO/Rare along with having experience in commercial awareness interviews.

I believe possessing strong commercial awareness is key for breaking into the legal world. Additionally, it is an important skill to have as a commercial lawyer.

If elected I will help LFA's members in developing their commercial awareness to a high level. I will carry out this vision by:

• Creating an easily digestible weekly commercial awareness newsletter. In the newsletter I would discuss a range of current affairs and legal news. Additionally, I would include a section relating to technical commercial awareness, for how law firms are businesses.
• Running application and interview workshops aimed at enhancing commercial awareness skills.
• Running a commercial awareness competition testing commercial knowledge.
• Further developing the LFA’s commercial awareness podcast by inviting special guests and UCL alumni who work/have experience in law. I have previous experience in this field having assisted my friend on his sports podcast.
