Technical legal skills: e.g. developing a stronger understanding of core practice areas, drafting, research, etc.2. Commercial awareness: showing that you want to better understand clients' industries, their commercial objectives, and how legal advice fits into wider business decisions that clients make.3. Professional skills: softer skills like communication, managing competing deadlines, adapting your working style with different people, etc.It can also help to tie the knowledge / skills back to the firm, which shows that you are thinking long-term and making your answer tailored to this specific firm.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>
