[QUOTE="Dheepa, post: 56283, member: 1572"] Hi, If you're having trouble picking a news article I'd suggest first thinking about what industry particularly interests you. Is there a particular theme affecting businesses that you find interesting? Maybe the regulation of Big Tech, ESG investing, etc. You could then work backwards and find a news story that touches on some of these themes to build your answer. Alternatively, you could have a look at the A&O website and read some of their insight/industry update articles. This should also give you a good idea of what issues are already affecting the firm's clients and you could again work backwards and find a news story from there. The key to answering these kind of questions well is to really develop an opinion on the story (i.e how you think it will develop/any future effects it might have on the industry) and also tie it into how it will affect the firm. Will the firm see an uptick in work in some areas? Will they need to develop stronger expertise in others to better cater to the trends arising out of the story? Would they maybe need to look to expanding their presence globally so they can better cater to the increase in work in other regions? I hope that gives you some ideas! [/QUOTE]
