[QUOTE="Naomi U, post: 60885, member: 4043"] Hiya! Jacob's made a very helpful and thorough guide on case studies which I've linked below, but just to add, I think your SWOT analysis approach is a great idea. I would probably take a similar approach, assessing each company on issues I felt were most relevant to the client's needs and using these as sub-headings. Then I would conclude based on my assessment, weighing up the pros and cons to the client. I think I would lead with legal issues e.g. concerns regarding financing, employment, IP issues, tax, competition, real estate etc. For each of these points, I think if time and your word count permits, there's no harm in considering the commercial implications of the legal issues e.g. you could consider the commercial implications of location(e.g. footfall) when discussing the legal implications of a rent and lease agreement etc. Hope this makes sense!
