It might help to treat it like talking a client through your reasoning rather than "presenting".I'd perhaps structure it as: a brief introduction that sets out the business context and why it matters, then move on to discuss the key issue or opportunity that the client. Then, you can explain what the firm should do and why, making this as specific to the firm that you are at as possible (e.g. discussing their practice areas or expertise in certain areas). You can then focus on how this adds value for the client (e.g. commercially, strategically, long-term, etc.), and finish with a short conclusion that ties all of your advice together.In terms of content, I would say it is helpful to:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Show commercial awareness (e.g. highlight the client's objectives, the main risks that they'll face, the possible costs, and the most efficient way of handling any challenges)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Link your solution to the firm's strengths and their position in the market</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Think beyond pure legal advice (e.g. relationship management or practical steps).</li> </ul>For delivery of the presentation, it always helped me to clearly signpost my points and use a calm and steady pace - I had a tendency to rush my presentations due to fear of public speaking, so trying to pace yourself can really help! The graduate recruitment team will be assessing how you structure your thinking and communicate as much as the answer itself, so I would focus on those aspects as well. I hope that helps, and best of luck! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
