[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 225802, member: 42112"] Hey! No problem, I'm glad it is useful! :) An "opportunity" doesn't have to be something such as a brand-new practice area. It can absolutely be something that builds on Ashurst's existing strengths, especially if the regulatory reform you've identified will create increased demand for advice in a space where they already have strong capability. Framing it as how the firm can capitalise on this change is a perfectly valid (and often realistic) angle to take. You could develop it by going into the specifics on where the opportunity lies. For example: [LIST] [*]New advisory work for existing clients navigating the reform [*]Attracting clients who need expertise in that regulation but don't yet have counsel [*]Potential for cross-practice collaboration (e.g. regulatory + finance / corporate) [*]Positioning Ashurst as a market leader through early guidance of the changes [/LIST] You don't need to propose an opportunity that is radically new - just show commercial awareness by identifying what is changing, why clients will need support, and how Ashurst is well-placed to benefit. As long as you're explaining the impact of the reform and linking it clearly to a potential growth area for the firm, you're doing exactly what the question is asking! i hope that reassures you - it sounds like you're on a strong track already! :) [/QUOTE]
