I love it when candidates show they've thought about a question before asking, so good job!1. Plan sounds great.2. I agree, this question can seem quite difficult. You have flexibility with your approach provided you make sure you cover all parts of the question.Yep, so beyond just a general 'why commercial law?' answer, you want to clearly explain 'why OC?'. That doesn't have to mean a completely new approach though, just be sure to link your reasons directly to the firm.This is similar to the Ashurst question in that Q1 will be focused on explaining what makes the firm different, while in Q2, you'll be tying in why you want a career in commercial law at the firm. Some overlap is fine.
