[QUOTE="dannyp123, post: 217857, member: 37628"] Hi everyone, I’m planning my answers for Addleshaw Goddard’s application before it opens and I’m a bit stuck on the first question: [B]“What attracts you to a career in commercial law and why specifically at Addleshaw Goddard?”[/B] I’m unsure whether to focus on the [B]firm’s culture[/B] (e.g., high responsibility for trainees) or a [B]specific practice area[/B]. At a Legal Cheek event a few weeks ago, Grad Rec suggested highlighting culture and values, but I’m skeptical since we haven’t worked there yet and generic statements might not stand out. Given that the other application questions already focus on AG’s work and commercial aspects, I’m leaning towards emphasising [B]firm culture and values[/B], but I’d love to hear others’ thoughts. For context, the other three questions are: [LIST=1] [*][B]Is technology and AI an opportunity or threat for Addleshaw Goddard and why?[/B] (2000 characters max) [*][B]Choose one of Addleshaw Goddard's practice areas or sectors and tell us about a major change in law or government policy that clients in that sector/practice area are facing and what opportunities that creates for us.[/B] (2000 characters max) [*][B]If you were in government, what one thing would you change to make it easier for UK businesses to succeed and why?[/B] (2000 characters max) [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
