[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 225312, member: 42112"] Hey! Without seeing the specific wording of the question, I couldn't give a definitive answer either way. However, as a generally rule of thumb, I think it is a good idea to strengthen your answer by briefly connecting the development to how Skadden is positioned to help clients - as long as it feels natural and not forced. Your structure, therefore, sounds solid, and would look like: [LIST=1] [*][B]Paragraph 1: [/B]Explain the development clearly (showing research and commercial awareness) [*][B]Paragraph 2:[/B] Discuss the impact on clients, and this is usually where you can add a line or two about which practice areas at Skadden would get involved (e.g. regulatory, disputes, transactions, finance, etc.). [/LIST] This doesn't need to be a deep dive, but I do think it is advantageous to make that link - even if they haven't explicitly asked for it in the question. It's a good way of adding context, and showing commercial awareness of how a law firm adds value to their clients. I hope that assists! :) [/QUOTE]
