[QUOTE="jess889, post: 1611, member: 7"] You're welcome! I wrote about how the world is adjusting to a new technological revolution. I started with the consequences of that on businesses, especially financial services firms. After that, I moved on to Linklaters and discussed the kind of systems they've recently introduced to handle new regulation. I then talked about how Linklaters could use this as an opportunity to get ahead of competitors, and that in 20-30 years we could have a very different way of running a law firm. That's usually my go to commercial awareness topic because it can be a bit more philosophical rather than technical - whether robots will take over, ethics etc. I used to talk about upcoming regulations but I found at interviews the partners knew it well and would ask some very hard questions. It was also a topic that everyone else was discussing. So this one is hopefully a bit more interesting! What topics did you guys choose for this question? [/QUOTE]
