[QUOTE="AnAnonymousDuck, post: 210417, member: 37011"] Hi [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] [USER=36740]@Amma Usman[/USER] [USER=36777]@Andrei Radu[/USER] [USER=36738]@Ram Sabaratnam[/USER] I have an AC next week where i have to give a presentation based on an answer I provided in my application for a ‘please describe a current news story which is of interest to you and why.’ I decided at the time to use an answer that I had used previously related to competition as I was best able to link it back to myself and my prior experience. The firm’s London office does not offer a seat in competition nor have a practice area in it. A lot of advice I have seen online for this AC says that candidates should expand on their commercial story and that it is really important to explicitly link it back to the firm and not just rely on knowing the topic well. I am struggling to find ways to link it back to the firm since they don’t work in competition law and don’t really know how to approach this? Does anyone have any advice? [/QUOTE]
