I would focus on picking something recent and genuinely interests you, as this will allow you to analyse it in more detail.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Your analysis is what matters most - make sure that in your answer, you show that you understand the commercial drivers, risks, and why you would want to act for that side.</li> </ul>When choosing a side to represent, there's no "right" answer - it's more about how you justify it, rather than which party you pick. It might help to focus on factors such as:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The commercial objectives of that party</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The risks they're managing</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Why that role would be interesting from a legal perspective</li> </ul>If the firm has a known strength that aligns with the side you have chosen (e.g. acting for lenders, sponsors, innovators, etc.), then you can make a brief nod towards that at the end - I would just make sure to avoid it feeling forced!I hope that helps, and best of luck with your application! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
