[QUOTE="Ram Sabaratnam, post: 192223, member: 36738"] Hiya [USER=30741]@abhuzaifa[/USER] Just adding to what was mentioned by [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] here. From my initial reading of it, I think this question is definitely about showing a structured approach to understanding a client’s needs and how you would use the firm’s expertise to help them. For the “how you would determine” part, focus on explaining the steps you’d take to identify the support the client needs. I think you could start by researching the client’s sector and then identifying an issue that you can convincingly explain would affect them. As Jess mentioned, you can then set out the specific steps that you'd take to assist them with the issue/challenge/news story you've identified. This could include mentioning attempts to engage with the client to understand their specific concerns, goals, and constraints; conducting any research into the legal and commercial implications of the issue; or using the firm’s resources, such as knowledge databases or 'knowledge lawyers', any market insights, or previous cases. You can also mention the role of collaboration within the firm's team to get a well-rounded understanding of the problem and potential solutions (e.g. perhaps you can mention consulting partners or senior associates with expertise in the client’s sector). I'd try to end off by suggesting whether there's a specific range of solutions that you might consider implementing (whether immediate advice on compliance or risk mitigation strategies). Hope this is useful and helps prompt ideas for you! Good luck! [/QUOTE]
