[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 5609, member: 1"] It's a tough question. First you might want to check out this thread: [URL]https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/how-performance-impacts-what-we-do-and-the-way-we-work-with-clients.760/[/URL]. There are some good comments there. If I approached this question, I'd begin by investigating the core values. Take a look at how Reed Smith talks about the core values in their press releases to get an idea of what it means to them: [URL]https://reedsmithpublications.com/diversity-and-inclusion-annual-report-2017/r4/2/[/URL] [URL]https://www.reedsmith.com/en/diversity[/URL] [URL]https://www.vercida.com/uk/articles/reed-smith-closing-the-gender-pay-gap[/URL] [URL]http://www.diversityjournal.com/16266-deborah-broyles-reed-smith/[/URL] [URL]http://nalpdirectory.com/content/OrganizationalSnapshots/OrgSnapshot_6865.pdf[/URL] [URL]https://www.legalcheek.com/2018/05/time-spent-being-innovative-counts-towards-billable-targets-reed-smith-tells-lawyers/[/URL] Personally, I'd probably tackle the question by discussing each value individually, aside from the ones that go together e.g. teamwork and respect/innovation and improvement. If I did that, I'd have five points to make and possibly five short paragraphs. It is about interpretation though, so if you decide it works to combine a few values and then discuss them, I don't see a problem with that. The question seems to be testing your understanding of Reed Smith and also how law firms work as a business e.g. think about what innovation and improvement entails? Why is it relevant to Reed Smith?
