Hiya [USER=28656]@Defnefresko[/USER]This isn't a hard-and-fast rule, but I generally avoid ESG topics in interviews because they tend to be widely discussed by applicants. I also try my best to find commercial stories or trends that are as closely/directly tied to a firm’s key practice areas, doing enough research to hopefully allow such answers to stand out. Additionally, I try to choose topics where I feel most confident in engaging in a nuanced discussion. Given how broad ESG is - spanning regulatory, transactional, and litigation aspects - I’ve found it more challenging to discuss it in a confident way. That being said, ESG considerations are increasingly relevant across many practice areas. If a particular development closely aligns with a firm’s work, I think it's good to ensure that you can engage with the topic at the right level of depth.
