Agenda

In-depth masterclass on how to approach commercial law application questions, filled with highly practical advice, personal examples and insightful anecdotes, followed by a workshop during which Jake Schogger will go through volunteers' applications live on air and answer questions from attendees.

In this masterclass, we’ll provide comprehensive guidance on how to:

Write a clear, concise and impactful CV.
Structure a cover letter.
Draw competencies and capabilities from a wide range of previous experiences.
Structure answers to competency questions and "Tell me about a time..." questions.
Articulate your career motivation in a way that comes across as personal and credible.
Identify key law firm differentiators and – crucially – link these back to yourself.
Structure your answers to motivation questions.

Jake Schogger will then give live feedback on a range of applications, cover letters and CVs (subject to attendees volunteering to have their applications reviewed live on air).

We'll also be offering attendees a full, free month's access to www.commerciallaw.academy during the event (new customers only, terms apply)!

*** Any attendee can submit their application for review, with Jake choosing 4 or 5. Simply drop Jake an email via hello@commerciallaw.academy with a Word version of a CV, cover letter, or single application answer AFTER midnight on 14th July 2025 (please not earlier, as this creates a lot of additional admin) ***
