Commercial Law 101: How A Law Firm Really Works with LittleLaw

Registrations are open for the final session in Commercial Law 101, a four-part virtual series delivered by Linklaters for students exploring careers in commercial law. This session, How a Law Firm Really Works, is led by Idin Sabahipour from LittleLaw and focuses on the commercial mechanics behind large law firms. It breaks down how firms generate revenue, how billable hours operate in practice, and how matters and teams are staffed. The session also explores how law firms make decisions around hiring, promotion, and long-term growth, offering a clearer picture of how legal work fits into a wider business model. It is aimed at students from all universities who want a practical understanding of how commercial law firms function beyond the legal theory, and how this knowledge can strengthen applications and interviews.
