    Thanks for your reply! It's an interview question, I believe someone has been asked it before at an Ashurst interview which I'm currently prepping for. Really struggling to draw out examples from my work experience for this one. I have quite a variety of legal/non legal work experience e.g...

    I'm really struggling with this competency question: Describe a time you explained a difficult commercial concept to someone. Has anyone been asked this and have an example of what they said so that I can try and think of an answer? @Jessica Booker would love to hear your thoughts too! :)
