[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 223809, member: 42112"] Hey! I'd recommend structuring it in three clear sections so that it stays focused but fits within the 250-word limit. [B]1. Introduction (1-2 sentences)[/B] I'd start by briefly stating that the legal industry is undergoing rapid innovation and that this is reshaping the role of commercial lawyers - particularly in a global, tech-forward firm such as Dentons [B]2. Main Body (three main points)[/B] This should be the core of your answer, and I would pick 2-3 innovations that you can discuss meaningfully. For each one, it might help to further break it down into a mini-structure like: [I][B](1) What the development is [/B][/I]- I'd briefly outline what the development or software is (without going into too much detail), such as AI-driven contract review systems or knowledge platforms [B][I](2) Evidence and research [/I][/B]- this is where you can make reference to specific initiatives at Dentons, and any industry reports or news stories [B][I](3) Impact on a Dentons commercial lawyer[/I][/B] - discuss how this changes the role of a trainee / associate at the firm, such as a shift towards higher-value advisory work, need for tech fluency, more strategic client engagement, changes to billing systems, etc. [B]3. Conclusion (1-2 sentences)[/B] Finish your answer with a forward-looking line that explains how these innovations will elevate the role of a lawyer, rather than replace them - making commercial lawyers at Dentons more strategic, efficient, and client-centred. This structure can help keep your answer concise and well-referenced while directly addressing the question. Best of luck with your application! :) [/QUOTE]
