âLittleLaw is an engaging newsletter that uses text and memes to break down news. The tone is friendly - like a discussion. The 'Featured Report' has enhanced my understanding of how commercial news impacts legal practices.â
Ondine Ren
LPC student at the University of Law
âLittleLaw has been beneficial in enhancing my commercial awareness. This played a pivotal role in my achievement of a first-year scheme at Reed Smith and in successfully completing a work experience at Slaughter and May.â
Kelvin Akhigbe
Law student at the University of Leeds
âLittleLaw has been a revelation for me in understanding the legal industry. I learn something every week and highly recommend it. It's free, takes a few minutes to read, and offers engaging topics for my work as a finance lawyer at a Magic Circle firm.â
Misbah Qamar
Associate at Clifford Chance
âI am a consistent reader of the LittleLaw newsletter. I find them extremely informative, easy-to-read and thereâs always a variety of topics! As a law student, I find them beneficial to keep my commercial awareness up to date and I have recommended to several of my peers.â
Courtney Chambers
Law student at Leeds Trinity University
âThe LittleLaw newsletters have been amazing at increasing my confidence with commercial awareness. They are digestible as they are neatly presented and use the perfect tone, making it easier to grasp and remember in interviews. I really like when a news story is put into the header 'Why should law firms care?'. Plus, it's free and weekly!â
Reanna Sandhu
Paralegal at Aston University
âLittleLaw is a fantastic resource and differentiates itself from other commercial awareness newsletters in various ways. Firstly, Idin makes a real effort to diversify his sources, using news outlets - like the Guardian, Law.com, and Insider Media - that people usually wouldnât visit for their legal or commercial fix, saving you time and drawing you away from the more traditional 'Financial Time only' approach. Secondly, the newsletterâs presentation offers something for those who want their commercial awareness quickly as well as people who have a bit more time to catch up with the latest stories. I would strongly recommend LittleLaw to any aspiring solicitor, not only because it helped me secure a training contract at a silver circle law firm, but also simply because it's free!â
Rhys MacCarter
Future Trainee Solicitor at Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner
âI love receiving the LittleLaw newsletter. It breaks down, in easy-to-digest bites, current affairs and their impact on the legal sector. It's filled with insightful information whilst still being humorous enough to make for an easy read!â
Chinenye Anadu
Commercial paralegal at Deloitte Legal
âLittleLaw is one of my top ways to keep up-to-date with recent commercial news stories. The featured reports help me in my commercial thinking as to why law firms will care about events. I have been able to use this skill in my writing to progress to interviews at Magic Circle firms.â
Lauren Douglas-Shea
Law student at Cardiff University
âThe Q&A style of the LittleLaw reports makes absorbing current commercial affairs so much easier and really helps me retain the information. Iâve always found better consistency in developing commercial awareness when itâs in a bitesize and easy to read format, and the LittleLaw newsletter does this perfectly. Also having one newsletter per week means that Iâve never felt bombarded with loads of stuff that I probably wouldnât read!â
Jada Akuffo
Paralegal at We Are Social
âLittleLaw is only one of two law newsletters that I am still subscribed to after trialling several. It's concise, easy to read, and it doesn't bore me to sleep! The 'in other news' section is super useful to pick and choose which topics to read about further. The biggest difference has to be how well-written the articles are, and it is always a joy to see my inbox with a fresh newsletter for the week!â
Kaush K Madhavk
Future Trainee Solicitor at Harrison Clark Rickerbys
âLittleLaw has been an essential part of my journey from law school to my current in-house role. As an international law student, LittleLaw was my window into deciphering the UK legal landscape. I most appreciated the straightforward approach to commercial awareness without complex legalese. â
Shasank Konger
Legal team member at Hashed
âLittleLaw is a well-organised and useful tool for law students and legal professionals. It's written in a way that makes complex legal concepts easily understandable. The newsletter constantly delivers insightful and relevant content on a variety of legal topics. I recommend this newsletter to anyone looking for reliable and enlightening legal insights.â
Ife Obasa
Law student at the University of Southampton
âLittleLaw makes business news a lot more digestible and engaging! The tone of the newsletter is like you are conversing with peers and I enjoy how varied the topics covered in the 'Featured Report' section are. My commercial awareness has improved significantly since subscribing, enabling me to successfully hold my own during interviews and secure a training contract.â
Giorgia Merighi
Future Trainee at Lewis Silkin
âThe LittleLaw newsletter keeps me up to date on relevant current affairs in a way that is simultaneously comprehensive while still being easily digestible. The newsletter is always brimming with personality, making it a real joy to read and a weekly highlight in my inbox!â
Calvin Tan
Trainee solicitor at Mayer Brown
âI have been reading LittleLaw for over a year now and it is definitely one of the best newsletters out there. Mainly focusing on key business and legal updates, it really helps aspiring solicitors to stay on top of interesting news, but it can benefit anyone that wishes to improve their commercial awareness. The best thing about LittleLaw is that the people behind it share complicated news in a fun way, so it is very easy for anyone to understand and follow! 10/10 đđť â
Niya Mincheva
Conveyancing assistant at Birkett Long
âSuccinct, clear and jargon-free - LittleLaw has been one of my favourite resources to build up my commercial awareness. Looking forward to apply what I have learnt in reading LittleLaw newsletters in my future vacation scheme and training contract interviews.â
Stan Yau
Student at the University of Law
âLittleLaw has been my weekly email companion since 2017, when I first signed up following a recommendation at university. At the time, âcommercial awarenessâ was a new and vague concept, and certainly felt neither accessible nor entertaining. Six years down the line, Iâve enjoyed countless laughs while reading the weekly Editorâs Ramble and scrolling through the memes and gifs. Most of all, I love feeling that Iâm actually enjoying the process of acquiring commercial awareness. LittleLaw has treated every issue imaginatively, exhaustively and with great humour for the past six years. Thank you truly for LittleLaw!â
Eric Kibogo
Legal intern at MMAN Advocates
âAs a non-law graduate, I have found LittleLaw to have been of enormous help to me during the firm application process. For example, I was able to talk about the issues of law firms listing as public companies in a TC interview due to the newsletterâs coverage of Ince Groupâs administration (not to mention, you get access to all this material completely free!)â
Alex Carter
Future trainee solicitor at Watson Farley & Williams
âI have been an avid reader of the LittleLaw newsletter since 2020. Every issue is a well-crafted compilation of updates on law firm deals, analysis of landmark cases, commercial trends, and of course a splash of humour, that keep me informed and up to date. The concise yet comprehensive nature of the LittleLaw newsletter ensures that I can easily grasp complex legal concepts without feeling overwhelmed.â
Fehreen Khan
Document reviewer at the SFO
âI love LittleLaw because the newsletters are remarkably well-written and designed to stick in your mind. The writing style is succinct, and the addition of fun gifs keeps it light and enjoyable. LittleLaw has helped me stay up-to-date with commercial awareness - it's extremely valuable for any aspiring solicitor. If you're short on time and want to stay informed, LittleLaw is the go-to source.â
Ananya Malaviya
Senior associate at LawSikho
âLittleLawâs weekly emails are nothing less than a lifesaver for my law firm interview prep. They played a significant role in me securing two competitive first-year schemes and a vacation scheme at a Magic Circle law firm.â
Ayush Sanghavi
Law student at the University of Cambridge
âI use LittleLaw to demystify commercial awareness. Iâve enjoyed it over other platforms because of the simplicity in its delivery. The funny tone is really pleasant to read (and it's free!). LittleLaw makes me feel more confident in discussing commercial topics.â
Hortensia Kanika
Law graduate from University of Essex
âLittleLaw concisely explains the link between commercial developments and the legal industry without omitting significant details. I also appreciate how varied LittleLaw's content is. The law firm filter on the website is also useful when applying to specific firms.â
Kainat Shah
Future trainee solicitor at CMS
âOf all the legal commercial newsletters I read, I would sincerely name LittleLaw as my favourite one hands down. I love the âkey takeawayâ summary at the start because I feel like Iâve still gained something valuable even when I only have a few moments to spare. But what I love most is how engaging it is: from the interaction with readers (through the votes and questions) to its wonderful balance of content (both informative & comprehensive yet random & relatable), LittleLaw has made catching up on legal news feel like far less of a chore for me and I find myself looking forward to reading it every week!â
Koyin Onakomaiya
Future trainee solicitor at Norton Rose Fulbright
âIâm so glad that LittleLaw exists! Getting commercial news in a fun and bitesize format is honestly a lifesaver. Cannot recommend it more â¤ď¸â¤ď¸â
Natasha Raggoo

âIt can feel extremely overwhelming for students to stay commercially aware. LittleLaw allows complex matters to be understood in a fun way. A complete life saver!â
