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. It sounds like you are thinking about this in the right way with your second point. I would suggest you look into the...- Jaysen

Query about: Big Tech Regulation - US Government Sues Google
Missed this one - I think one of the big differences here is that Amazon isn't just any shop but it's the marketplace that controls so much of the online shopping space (so much so that some independent brands have to list on Amazon if they want to access a huge proportion of potential...- Jaysen

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

Spelling mistake in application... help
Part of it depends on the likelihood of someone reading your application (at speed) being able to pick up a spelling mistake like that. Personally, I think it's unlikely that'll be spotted. I'd also flag that we very rarely review applications without at least one typo, spelling mistake or...- Jaysen

No problem - any day between the 24th - 28th will be a non-working day as we're taking some time off for Christmas. We'll be open on the 31st, although we're closed on bank holidays (so the 1st January 2021). If you're submitting an application anywhere around that time, I'd recommend a...- Jaysen

2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion
No problem at all, just helps to give the right advice! I see attributes more as personal qualities that are internal (e.g. integrity, reliability, work ethic etc.), whereas skills are more external (and perhaps something that has been acquired). Many are interchangeable though; I see the big...- Jaysen
