[QUOTE="James Carrabino, post: 107687, member: 16764"] Hi [USER=21203]@lpcstudent2021[/USER], I applaud you on your self reflection - this sounds like it could be exactly what will make the difference! Your work experience does sound more than adequate after all, so if you are able to truly convey what is transferrable between the experience you have and a career in commercial law, then I think you should be on to a winning strategy :) Extremely specific research about the firm is very important! In the example you give, saying that 'HSF has good litigation' would not even be given any points as it is one of those things that every candidate should know. Looking at deals, chambers ratings and partners who you might want to work with can help to really clarify your interest!
