[QUOTE="awatling1, post: 208159, member: 37393"] Hi everyone! I'm in the process of applying for the Linklaters Get Ahead scheme, but I'm first doing an application for their LinkUp event that has its own application questions. The first is basically why linklaters/why you, but the second question is to talk about a recent deal that interested me and what practice areas would have been involved. How can I go about approaching this? I find it difficult to articulate genuine interest in an M&A deal, or something in mining, energy, etc. even if I actually do find it interesting. I guess I'm struggling with really analysing the deals and extrapolating what makes them interesting/unique, and all I see is big company X acquired big company Y. Can anyone give me some advice on this? [USER=36740]@Amma Usman[/USER] [USER=36777]@Andrei Radu[/USER] [USER=36738]@Ram Sabaratnam[/USER] [/QUOTE]
