[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 225804, member: 42112"] Hi! You don't need to pick a story that Trowers & Hamlins has directly worked on - it can be a deal they were involved in, but it is more likely to be a broader commercial development that connects their sectors or strategic strengths. The key is showing you understand the news, why it matters in the commercial world, and how it creates opportunities or challenges for a firm like Trowers & Hamlins. A simply structure that I would follow is: [LIST] [*][B]Briefly summarise the news story:[/B] I'd keep this concise - what happened, who is involved, and why it matters. [*][B]Explain the commercial impact: [/B]discuss the consequences for businesses and clients - this could be regulation, investment, growth, risks, market shifts / trends, etc. [*][B]Link it specifically to Trowers & Hamlins:[/B] this is where you show that you have tailored your answer to the firm! You could connect it to: their practice area strengths (e.g. real estate, energy, etc.), the opportunities for advisory work arising from the development, and how the story relates to trends the firm is active in (housing, regeneration, etc.). [/LIST] For example, if the story is about government housing policy or investment in infrastructure, you could discuss how it aligns with Trowers' strong public sector and real estate practice and what kind of client needs might emerge (that they could assist with). You are essentially showing that you understand what is happening commercially, why this matters, and why Trowers & Hamlins is well suited to advise on those issues. I hope that helps! :) [/QUOTE]
