Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!
I take the change in phrasing of this question to mean: - BM wants candidates to be more personal in their reasoning - BM wants candidates to be thinking more deeply about what makes the firm different to other firms I don't think you need to explicitly specify how BM differs from competitors...- Jaysen

threats to law firms
As you said, if corporate clients are holding off deals in particular sectors as a result of the current uncertainty, it could lead to fewer deals in some of those areas or place a downward pressure on legal fees. That may be a challenge for firms who aren't well hedged in the current...- Jaysen

Why You?
I'm assuming this is for an application rather than an interview. I'd look at everything you've achieved so far and consider what your most notable experiences/most unique selling points are. You want to be really specific here and highlight the best parts - most people underplay their...- Jaysen

Common mistakes on application forms.....
In this case, it would be why you found the particular business news story interesting. That said, you are free to take this into any direction you want (e.g. it may be that you found it interesting because of something specific to do with the parties or the implications etc.).- Jaysen

Hogan Lovells Application 2020/21

I'm keen to know if they phrased this more as an option, rather than something that adds much value to an application. Otherwise, it seems to be silly to disadvantage the candidates who chose to answer the...- Jaysen

Hogan Lovells Application 2020/21
If that’s the case, I’m very confused as to why Hogan Lovells haven’t included a question that relates to ‘why this firm?’. I’ve reviewed a large number of HL apps and rarely find candidates have linked to the firm (aside from the last question), let alone answered ‘why Hogan Lovells?’, which is...- Jaysen
