The end of another year!
The end of another year of MULS!
Thank you so much to everyone who made this year such a success! With an incredible series of career events to some spectacular socials, this year has been one of the best years of MULS!
A big thank you to the whole committee for putting together every event and helping so many people to make new friends and pursue their dream careers!
I can’t wait to see what next year’s committee can do (Hassan all eyes on you!)
LCN Commercial Awareness
Commercial awareness is a vital skill law firms look for in their future trainees, but sometimes it’s not so clear exactly what it means, or how you can get it.
LawCareers.Net’s commercial awareness hub page, sponsored by Lexology, which draws together all the information we have about being commercially aware, including:
Weekly commercial news round-ups – every week we summarise the need-to-know commercial news stories of the week which can be used as a starting point for further research;
Commercial Questions – articles written by lawyers about important issues provide a crucial insight of how law firms relate to the needs of their clients. Recent articles cover topics including cyber-attacks, the regulation of buy now, pay later services and employment rights for athletes;
This LCN Says which explains exactly why understanding the client and its aims is a key aspect of commercial awareness, as well as pointing out how law firms operate as businesses; and
A podcast episode on commercial awareness, commercial awareness case study videos, and blog posts from our LCN bloggers.
Hola from Madrid!
MULS jets off to the Spanish capital!
MULS started 2020 with a bang, by leaving Manchester and jetting off to Madrid!
With T-Shirt weather temperatures and no time for siestas, MULS members were able to go and explore the Spanish capital. There was also plenty of food and drink (bye new years resolutions) along with plenty of opportunities to meet new people.
A big thank you to Zaheer and the other helpers for organising such an amazing trip!
Mulled Wine with MULS

Careers Dinner: A successful night at Harvey Nichols
A night filled with networking and delicious food!
What a way to start November!
Thank you to all those who came last night! We hope you got a chance to speak to your favourite firms and enjoyed the amazing food!
A big shoutout to all the firms for sending their trainees and associates and to our careers officer, Hafsah Nawaz, for single handedly organising such a classy event.
Make sure you all follow up on the connections you made and we look forward to seeing lots of you at our next event in just two weeks at Bierkeller!
End of October Update: MULS winter is coming
What a busy month… but November will be no different!
This month has been one of the biggest months for MULS since its creation! Thank you to all who attended jazz at the museum and the succession of career events, the attendance really makes the events worthwhile and we hope you enjoyed them.
Also a massive congratulations to our first year representatives Jess and Hassan for settling into their new roles and getting fully involved!
Yet there is so much more to come with MULS in this first semester, as MULS prepares for their big quiz in November following our annual careers dinner. We hope you will all join us for this wonderful event with ticket sales on the 7th November!
Danke und auf Wiedersehen,The MULS team
