[QUOTE="Amma Usman, post: 186697, member: 36740"] Hey [USER=29727]@Mariyam_M[/USER] , you are right in your approach. Ideally, the answer should sufficiently cover all the three points below. I have also included a few specific tips: [B][U]1. What Attracts You to Taylor Wessing[/U][/B] Discuss what specifically draws you to Taylor Wessing. Mention a couple of the firm's practice areas, such as technology, life sciences, or private wealth, and explain why these align with your interests. If the firm has a strong reputation in niche areas—like intellectual property protection in emerging technologies or regulatory insights in data privacy—acknowledge how these areas resonate with you and align with your own ambitions to contribute in these spaces. This is because showing demonstrated interest through practice areas does not necessarily always have to be by focusing on only Band 1 rankings. [U][B][/B][/U] [B][U]2. Why Commercial Law as a Field [/U][/B] While the question doesn’t directly ask for your motivation for commercial law, you can embed this briefly to provide context for why Taylor Wessing is the right firm for you. Explain your interest in commercial law by focusing on its nature of understanding and addressing diverse business challenges. You should also highlight any experiences that fuel this interest, such as exposure to commercial transactions, legal research, or a prior internship where you saw how legal solutions drive commercial success. The possibilities of what you could explain here are really endless. Highlight any non-legal work experience as well, as these are really valuable too! [B][U]3. Key Skills and Value You Bring[/U][/B] Conclude with the unique skills you bring to the table and how they would enable you to contribute effectively at Taylor Wessing. Start by identifying skills relevant to the firm’s work, such as problem-solving abilities, a strategic mindset, or strong analytical skills. For instance, if you have experience in legal research or contract drafting, mention how these skills have strengthened your attention to detail, enabling you to work more efficiently. This will be a quality essential in a law firm. You could also touch on any soft skills as well, such as your ability to work collaboratively in teams, strong communication skills for client interactions, and adaptability to dynamic, client-driven projects.
