[QUOTE="George Maxwell, post: 112494, member: 17165"] Hi [USER=4098]@futuretraineesolicitor[/USER]! I hope that you are doing well. It feels like it has been a long time since we last interacted on the forum! How are your applications going? The following is [I]my[/I] thoughts on this; there just are no [I]right[/I] answers for this sort of question. 1. I would think splitting this question into three equal parts (i.e., 100 words per section would be appropriate). 2. This is difficult to comment on in the abstract, but this could speak to broader trends in the PE space which Ashurst could then take advantage of. Try to draw out a broader theme and consider whether this presents an opportunity or threat to mitigate against for the firm (and go from there!). 3. I would [I]try[/I] to make this as specific to Ashurst as possible. However, again this is tricky to comment on in the abstract. For example, see if you can relate it to Ashurst's particular global footprint (i.e., strengths in Australasia)/practice area specialties/major clients. 4. I would try to pick a news story that fell within the last six months personally. For me, if it was longer ago than this, describing it as recent seems inaccurate. Hope that helps! [/QUOTE]
