[QUOTE="TortillaTC, post: 212062, member: 40677"] Hi everyone! It's my first time applying to Fried Frank - hoping to pass the first stage due to my academic awards and relatively substantial legal experience though I'm aware of how extremely picky they are. Can anyone with any experience or insight with the firm advise on how to answer their 3 app questions (on top of the 500 words cover letter)? (1) Is 250-300 words per question fine? (2) Regarding the C.A. question, would this structure work?: i. Stating why C.A. is important in commercial law in general (perhaps with a basic definition of C.A.?) ii. Explaining how I personally developed it (e.g. building my own business with international presence)/what I think commercial awareness is in my own experience/how it manifests iii. Linking it back to the firm in specific ways such as trainee tasks I'd fulfil better with my C.A. or perceiving the global work they do [The original question is: [B]Please tell us why you believe commercial awareness is an important skill for a successful lawyer.*] (3) I'd appreciate any other specific tip. Given the relatively little information on them and current trainees' unwillingness to help on LinkedIn, I feel a bit stuck ahaha. Thanks in advance![/B] [/QUOTE]
