Hi Guys!

Can I just be cheeky and ask along what lines people are prepping this question? Like are you targeting a law that is specific to a firms core practice areas?

Thank you :)

    No need to target something specific to a firm. Can’t say I’m a huge fan of this question, but pick something that is personally interesting to you. It doesn’t need to be too fancy, just make sure it’s specific and well justified.

    Thank you, that helps!! Also how would you reply to "where should we next open an office".
    Personally, I think Houston because of the energy sector there - particularly for renewable resources which is going to create more deals in the future therefore more work for firms; do you have other points I could add? Also, a lot of firms have recently opened up offices there, is the market becoming saturated - if so, how could a firm stand out/still be sucessful?

    Not needed - I talked about a criminal law provision - they just want to see how you justify the decision
