Message: <blockquote data-quote="Abbie Whitlock" data-source="post: 240453" data-attributes="member: 42112">Hi!I would approach this question by breaking it down into two clear parts.Firstly, briefly acknowledge that technical legal knowledge is a given, and then explain the additional ways that lawyers can add value on top of that. This could follow a structure such as:1. Start by understanding the client's wider commercial or personal objectives2. Discuss how legal advice can be translated into practical solutions for a client3. Finish by highlighting how lawyers can add value through things like communication, risk management, efficiency, and relationship building. Have a think about certain traits or skills that could assist clients, and one or two concrete examples should be enoughSecondly, I would then link this to why it matters in today's market. You could talk about current trends such as clients being more cost-conscious, having in-house legal teams, and increased competition from other providers. Overall, I'd try to keep it commercial and client-focused rather than overly technical - they are looking for commercial awareness and an understanding of how law firms remain competitive, rather than legal knowledge.I hope that assists! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
