As an associate, how do you learn the ropes of legal and other 3rd part diligence items

I understand I could never replace a lawyer, accountant, etc. but understanding key issues that come up seem important. In my current role, I’m mostly doing the heavy lifting pre-LOI but I want to get a better understanding of the whole deal process.
