[QUOTE="Ram Sabaratnam, post: 188597, member: 36738"] Hi [USER=35238]@Jmoney3010[/USER] You’re definitely on the right track here. Depending on the word count, you could definitely focus on 2-3 changes in the current tax regime that would impact some of Lewis Silkin’s key practice areas. You might also consider the knock-on effects these changes would have in areas like immigration (an area where Lewis Silkin has significant expertise), especially given how new rules around capital gains and carried interest could intersect with the decisions of founders or investors to move their businesses elsewhere. I've also noticed that many applicants are now referencing the recent budget and tax changes in more commercial related application questions. To help your answer stand out, you could consider other developments affecting Lewis Silkin’s core areas. For instance, you might have come across the Government's [URL='https://www.gov.uk/government/news/government-unveils-most-significant-reforms-to-employment-rights']new plans[/URL] to reform employment rights which are likely to have a considerable impact on businesses across the country. The new government has also unveiled some quite interesting [URL='https://www.gov.uk/government/news/ensuring-trust-in-ai-to-unlock-65-billion-over-next-decade']AI plans[/URL] that will offer interesting opportunities to law firms and their clients. But again if you'd like to focus solely on 2-3 changes in the tax system, and think you can speak about those in a way that really allows you to stand out, that's also completely fine :) Best of luck with the application!
