In this episode, Camilla Uppal interviews Peter Watson, commercial awareness expert who is an ex-stockbroker, to find out the key themes that lawyers and aspiring lawyers should know about.

Peter discusses the rise of investment in the Middle East, the potential M&A boom we could see in the UK, the rise of AI, and why companies are changing their expansion plans to take into account the US-China tensions.

Peter also provides his top tips for developing commercial awareness and impressing at interviews.
