[QUOTE="ChambersLoading, post: 250292, member: 24616"] Hi [USER=42112]@Abbie Whitlock[/USER], I hope you’re well! I had a couple ofquestions as I’m preparing for my W&C interview, if that’s okay. For my “Why W&C” answer, my first reason currently focuses on the firm’s strength in Corporate/M&A and its investment in private equity. Do you think that’s a sensible angle, given that it’s an area that the firm is actively building out and growing in, or would it be better to focus on areas it is stronger in and already particularly known for, such as project finance or capital markets? My second reason focuses on the firm’s global reach and platform. Do you think two reasons are sufficient for this question, or would you recommend adding a third? For example, I was considering mentioning the guaranteed international secondment - would it make sense to include that within the global platform point, or is it better framed under training philosophy as a separate reason? Also, when asked about practice areas I’m interested in, would it be better to stay aligned with my “Why W&C” answer and say Corporate/PE, or is it fine to say something different such as energy and litigation/arbitration? I’m just conscious of whether that might come across as inconsistent. Sorry for the multiple questions, and thank you so much in advance for your help! [/QUOTE]
