[QUOTE="Tomas Levy, post: 36564, member: 7618"] Hi STWO, I think the most important thing for you to try and consider before answering is the question, 'What is CMS' unique selling point/place in the legal market?'. This is where most of the research is required. Despite firms appearing to be very similar, all firms definitely aim to uphold a certain appearance and approach that differs from their competitors in some crucial ways, and CMS is no exception. You can probably glean from the style of the questions they pose in the online application that CMS is a tech-savvy, 'future-facing' firm, and is consequently looking for 'future-facing lawyers' who embrace change and development. When researching CMS' sectors and considering challenges and opportunities, definitely keep this in the front of your mind. Following on from that, you should then think about some of the skills that are required in order to be a future-facing lawyer and try and convey them as best you can in your answers. Think along the lines of commercial awareness, interpersonal skills etc. In short, make sure to research the firm as best as you can so you can tailor your answers accordingly. I hope this helps!
