[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 2350, member: 1"] I have merged both of your questions so we can cover it here. 1. [B]How does BCLP align with your ambitions for your Training Contract and beyond?[/B] [LIST] [*]You are correct that this question is similar to a "Why BCLP" question. However, to be clear, they have changed the question for a reason. So you should answer the exact question, and not use the similarities an excuse to write an answer for "Why BCLP" (I'm not saying you were going to do this, just to clarify). [*]I would suggest you think about what you want in your career. Mentoring? Opportunities for secondment? To gain an in-depth understanding of real estate? Identify what specific opportunities or experiences BCLP provides to help you get there. [*]Pick 2-4 reasons. A good answer will be very tailored. [USER=51]@Benjamin Cull[/USER] - I'm not sure writing about why law would be suitable here, unless you are covering the above. [/LIST] 2. [B]The legal sector is subject to continuous change and competition. What can BCLP do to stay profitable and what should BCLP be highlighting to clients when pitching for work?[/B] [LIST] [*]Good ideas [USER=487]@Daniel Boden[/USER], I agree. I haven't got round to a full insight on BCLP yet, [U][URL='https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/insights/bryan-cave-leighton-paisner-legacy-blp/']but some thoughts on the merger here.[/URL][/U] [*]Use this question as an opportunity to show off your knowledge of commercial awareness. e.g. How do law firms maintain a competitive advantage? How do they make a profit? [*]Use this question as an opportunity to show off your knowledge of BCLP. e.g. how will Lawyers on Demand support their business? [/LIST] 3.
