[QUOTE="elle woods, post: 229027, member: 43292"] Hmm sorry correct me if I’m understanding you incorrectly … But yes, Skadden is very much known for their transactional practice areas I would say, so perhaps mentioning other areas might be a weaker link. And absolutely, the rule is to never use contractions (it’s, I’m etc) and abbreviations unless you’ve expanded on it once beforehand (e.g. Clifford Chance (CC)). In terms of aligning with what the question asks or with the firm’s expectations, I would say you [I]can[/I] choose to pay for services if you wish to, but I personally don’t. Honestly, whenever I don’t fully understand what the question is asking of me, I put it into ChatGPT or something and discuss it with them to ascertain what the question is trying to get at (sometimes questions can have implicit expectations as well). Don’t worry about Kirkland - I haven’t heard back either 😂 hopefully we’ll hear back favourably soon! [/QUOTE]
