The aim is to show you understand an industry they specialise in and can assess the commercial implications for clients and the firm.I would pick one sector (such as tech, life sciences, energy, etc.), identify a specific opportunity for that the firm can utilise (i.e. AI regulation opening advisory work, renewable tech investment, etc.) and then explain why this creates work for Bird & Bird and how the firm is well-placed to help clients.So it's not redundant - the key is showing that you can spot a sector trend and think commercially about its impact. If you can explain how this opportunity could drive client needs and the type of work Bird & Bird might be involved in, it demonstrates that you understand both the sector and the firm's positioning in it.I hope that helps, and best of luck with the application! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
