Gowling Application

[mopsxo]

I am a little bit confused as to how to answer the Gowling VC application question 'Please explain, in no more than 350 words, how you anticipate the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic repercussions are going to change the way large commercial law firms operate in the future.'

I think what I am confused about is whether I should only focus on economic repercussions that affect large commercial law firms or the economic repercussions on a global scale, and then relate it to commercial law firms?

I was thinking of mentioning an increase in demand for cybersecurity, agile working and advancements in technology (e.g. DocuSign) but I am not sure if that is the right angle.

Hi Mope. I am working on this application at the moment too. I'm also finding what to discuss a bit difficult. I think in the interest of being succinct maybe discuss the economic repercussions that affect large commercial law firms. And possibly link it to Gowling somehow or to an area of law it specialises in if possible. This is the approach I'm taking to the question so I think you're on the right track! I'm also looking for advice on my application so it would be great if we could discuss it together!

I think both of these approaches could work! The question offers a fair amount of flexibility.

I also like the ideas you have suggested there. As long as you are being specific about the impact of COVID-19 on commercial law firms, you should be fine.

Hi Jaysen, i'm also working on this application at the minute. In your opinion, do you think there will be any drastic changes to the way law firms operate in the future as a result of Covid? I'm doing some reading around the topic at the minute but any further insight from you would be hugely beneficial!
