Sure something that is an acronym but also a brand name, you expect people to know (e.g. FT, BBC) but if you are using legal or business terminology acronyms, 99 times out of 100 your reader won't have a clue what you are on about (some exceptions like IPO or M&A).I have been reviewing apps recently and have had things like "EMNEs" and "MTN bonds" mentioned in sentences. I haven't got a clue what either of these things are even in the context of the paragraph they are written. And I am not going to take the time to try and find out, so I am just going to basically ignore it.Remember the person making a decision on your application is probably not a lawyer. And even a lawyer might not know what the acronym is if it isn't within their industry/sector/area of expertise.</blockquote>
