[QUOTE="Shreya26, post: 120963, member: 9010"] Hi [USER=1572]@Dheepa[/USER]! I saw that you were offered a TC at A&O (congratulations!) and wanted to pick your brain on some of the things I am struggling with when it comes to the application. I am applying for the direct training contract this year and the first question tackles the "why this firm" component, but is combined with two other components that need to be answered. Since the word count is even tinier now (I am looking to allocate around 85 words to each subquestion), I am struggling to be specific but also concise with why A&O is the firm for me. I have good examples for the legal tech and innovation point I want to mention. I was thinking of discussing a deal they did or the culture, but am worried I do not grasp the complexity of the former and the latter is only based off of virtual meetings with future trainees at the firm, and could be perceived as generic/ superficial. Further, since many other firms also maintain an expansive global network, I am struggling to be really precise with why the international reach A&O has is unique, besides how it would help me explore my current areas of interest. Do you have any tips on what/ how to be specific when it comes to A&O, especially given the word count? Thank you so much! (Any advice on the above from anyone is welcome - thank you!) [/QUOTE]
