It takes more than being good with your letter-of-the-law knowledge to climb the legal ranks toward the often-coveted position of Partner. In this episode, I spoke to Luke Thompson, who has left the Equity Partner world in favour of legal recruitment. We discuss what business development and commercial awareness are all about, why they're so important and how to put your best foot forward for promotion from the start of your Training Contract right through to the most senior ranks.
