Osborne clarke vs question
Hi Liam, For this question, I'd generally focus on why Osborne Clarke is different from other firms you have applied to. If it feels natural to make a brief reference to why you are applying, that's okay - although I recall there is a separate question for this. I secured a training contract...- Jaysen

Debevoise & Plimpton (20/21)
As James said, you may find it easier to choose a deal where there are two clearly defined sides. I think choosing an IPO for this question would be a little tricky in this case!- Jaysen

Addleshaw Goddard Application
You may find it useful to look into the kind of work Addleshaw Goddard undertakes. You could pick a practice area that interests you (and one that forms a big part of the work the firm undertakes) and then research if there are any COVID-related legal issues impacting Addleshaw Goddard in this...- Jaysen

Clyde & Co Question
I would advise against your first approach - you don't want to be writing about the general issues facing law firms, you want to be 100% focused on the issues facing Clyde & Co.

Debevoise & Plimpton (20/21)
If you're struggling to write 300 words, my question would be whether you're sure this is the topic you want to write about? While it's not absolutely necessary to max the word count, I'd want to be choosing a topic where you have plenty to talk about. It may also be the case that it's little...- Jaysen
