10 practical ChatGPT prompt ideas you can start using to transform the way you access news, develop commercial awareness, and prepare for interviews.

Leverage tools like ChatGPT to stay informed, productive, and competitive.

Use these as a starting point and modify based on your needs and interests.

Commercial Awareness

  1. “Summarize this week’s biggest business and legal news stories affecting UK law firms and their clients.”
  2. “Explain how current economic trends (interest rates, inflation, M&A activity) might impact UK law firms and their clients.”
  3. “Give me three recent examples of how commercial awareness questions could be asked in a law firm interview this week.”

Target Law Firm Research

  1. “Summarize the latest deals, cases, and news from [insert target firm name] in the last three months.”
  2. “Compare [Firm A] and [Firm B] in terms of practice strengths, culture, and recent strategic priorities.”
  3. “List recent press releases and major client wins for top UK firms involved in M&A, sports, or aviation law.”

M&A and Contract Law

  1. “Summarize the top 5 UK or global M&A deals announced in the past month and explain their legal significance.”
  2. “Explain recent trends in contract disputes or negotiations in UK commercial law, with examples from major cases or industries.”

Sports and Aviation Law

  1. “Summarize the most recent sports law disputes or regulatory updates in the UK or EU, and why they matter to solicitors.”
  2. “Summarize current legal or regulatory developments affecting the aviation sector, for example, airline mergers, emissions rules, or airport expansion.”

Modify for your interests

You may not care about M&A, Contract, sports, and aviation law, and that is ok. Replace those with topics that you do like.

Final thoughts

  1. Do not share anything personal or nonpublic with ChatGPT. Remember ChatGPT has no legal privilege.
  2. Begin with the free version of ChatGPT, only upgrade if it makes sense for you. Learn to use multiple AI tools.
  3. Trust but verify. ChatGPT is known to hallucinate. Always click on the source links and read directly before quoting.
