Harry Walker, President of the Commercial Awareness Society at BPP, and I have decided to launch immediately a series of podcasts.

These podcasts will be recorded by me using mobile apparatus (a MacBook Air and Yeti microphone).

The podcasts will cover issues interesting to members of our BPP student societies which are complementary. The BPP Legal Awareness Society promotes the importance of law to business, and the BPP Commercial Awareness Society promotes the importance of business to law.

The podcasts will therefore be considering topical issues of importance to our members, such as the Legal Services Act, anti-bribery legislation and ringfencing in financial regulation.

The podcasts are wholly a project of the aforementioned student societies, and BPP has no involvement. Any views or opinions in the podcasts are personal to the authors, and will be the responsibility of the BPP Legal Awareness Society and the BPP Commercial Awareness Society.

This podcast is a great way to demonstrate on training contract or vacation placement application forms that you have an ability to work in teams and that you are developing commercial awareness, which is a very important competence for trainee corporate lawyers.

Harry and I are recruiting for a team of BPP students without delay, with a view to an immediate start in recruitment for the podcast and its recording. Selection will be done on a first-come basis. You don’t have to be at BPP to participate, but priority will be given to members of BPP.

No prior experience or in-depth knowledge of law/business is necessary.

To express an interest, please email as soon as possible to correspondence@lasmeetings.org putting ‘podcasts’ in the subject line.
