for TW question: '
Taylor Wessing has its core values (Excellence, Creativity, Responsibility, Teamwork, Integrity and Respect). Tell us, through an example, how you have displayed one of these. {provide answer of 2500 characters}' Are they specifically looking for only one example, or can I put two? Also should I tie it back to TW using case studies, etc.?
Hello!
I'd say they're looking for one strong and detailed example rather than multiple shorter ones. The question says "an example", and firms usually prefer depth over breadth - they want to see that you can reflect on your experience, analyse what you did well, and link it meaningfully to the firm's values.
A good structure is the STAR method - set out the Situation / Task, outline what Actions you took, and then conclude with the Result / Reflection. Then, in the final few sentences, you could explicitly link that experience to
Taylor Wessing. For example, you could mention how that value (e.g. creativity of teamwork) aligns with something specific about the firm (beyond it being one of their core values) - such as their work in tech and life sciences, or their approach to innovation.
I don't think you need to include a full case study, especially given the character limit, but a short reference to something you've read about
Taylor Wessing (e.g. a deal, initiative, or an insight from a talk) makes the answer feel tailored and shows genuine engagement. The key is to show both self-awareness and firm-awareness, and how your experience reflects a value that is important at
Taylor Wessing.
I hope that helps!
