Take a Seat | What to expect from a seat in commercial & intellectual property

In the fourth episode of our new trainee podcast, host Bella Gartside is joined by partners Suzie Miles, Clare Jackman, and Brian Farrell from our commercial and intellectual property team. The conversation offers a unique look at what it’s really like to complete a commercial seat at Ashfords, the work the team does, and the trainee experience. The episode shares insight into: The types of clients the Commercial & IP team supports, from tech innovators and software providers to renewable energy developers and major infrastructure operators. The day‑to‑day life of a trainee, including drafting, research, contract reviews, client interaction, courtroom exposure and project work. The soft skills trainees build, from commercial awareness and confidence in client meetings to networking, BD involvement, and collaboration across teams and offices. Their career paths into law, which range from more traditional routes to career changes and international experience. Candid “highlights and horrors” from their professional journeys, including surprise tribunal hearings, global enforcement work, high‑stakes infrastructure deals, and the occasional accidental “love you” to a client!
