[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 12993, member: 1"] I'd concentrate on how they make you a commercially-focused solicitor of the future. That can encompass a variety of things though - from understanding the needs of clients to supporting the law firm as a business. When reading your answer, it should be evident that you understand what commercial solicitors do, it's up to you how you want to go about demonstrating this. Some candidates start with 'commercially-focused solicitors need to be XYZ' and then they explain how they have those skills. Personally, I prefer it when candidates do it in the context of answering the question (e.g. when you are justifying how your skills make you a commercially-focused solicitor, you can indicate the situations where it will be useful) - I find the answer flows better that way. I also wouldn't forget about the 'of the future' part of the question. If I'm reading that correctly, I take it to mean it's not just how you are suited to be any commercial solicitor, but specifically, one that will be prepared for the kind of changes/opportunities/challenges that will be present in the future.
