For example, you could say that the firm already understands the client's business, there is an existing relationship, and there may be opportunities to expand into new practice areas or jurisdictions.Equally, suggesting a completely new client is also a good option, provided that you justify it clearly (e.g. growth into a specific sector, alignment with the firm's strengths, strong pipeline of work, etc.).What matters most is that you:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Explain why the client fits the firm's sector or practice area strengths</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Identify the type of work that the firm could win with the client</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Show awareness of the commercial opportunities and risks that arise from each client</li> </ul>Therefore, your reasoning is often far more important than the client that you choose. I hope that helps! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
