Hi @Antoni Trochimowicz, hope you're well!

I was wondering how it's best to answer Q1 without sounding repetitive of Q2 and Q3?:

(1) What motivates you to pursue a career as a commercial solicitor, and why do you see Akin as the right place to begin that journey? (250 words)

(2) Akin’s London office works across a range of practice areas. Which area(s) interests you most, and why? (250 words)

(3) What are you looking for in your legal career, and how do you see a firm like Akin helping you achieve those goals? (250 words)

Thanks!

Jones Day interview! I don't know if its for Winter or Summer though because I applied for Winter but put Summer as my backup. Surely it is too late for Winter as my interview is in late October?
