I can see that A&O is the first elite global law firm to establish a practice in South Africa so that could be a good example of how A&O is setting the trend. I think if you can explain how Africa expansion is becoming a trend in the legal sector, then you will have a strong answer. Given the increasing prospect of economic recession, this might make business sense because African economy is less correlated to the Western economy and therefore investment institutions might want to explore how investing in Africa can help them diversify against the risk of recession. A&O being one of the early adopters is setting the trend which could establish the firm well in Africa. I think Slaughter and May also have a strong and growing practice in Africa. Competition means that this is a viable business strategy.I'm trying not to write about technology as it's quite a cliche but I remember reading a post on TCLA forum which says that cliche is cliche for a reason. It's fine for law application as long as you can find an angle. I want to write about technology because it's something that I am quite interested in. Technology is a trend that is happening in the legal sector and it's one of the trends that are over-hype especially with AI. However, I think real disruption will happen with the effective use of existing technology (a strategy that is in line with A&O Fuse) rather than imagining a future with AI. I'm not so sure about this.What do you think? Let's discuss this further, you might find your angle. Curious to know what everyone thinks.Best wishes,Syafiq.</blockquote>
