[QUOTE="NatashaS98, post: 139419, member: 25015"] Hi [USER=28460]@Chiomaaa[/USER] Is the application asking you to discuss a firm case? My advice generally when discussing cases in relation to a firm is to think about cases that best exemplify the firm's capabilities. Work backwards and think about the kind of practice areas and sector work Weightmans excels in/factors which motivated you to apply to Weightmans. By doing this, you can then try and identify a case that involved those practice areas/work in the sector. In essence, your case can try and act as evidence for the reasons why you are applying to Weightmans in the first place. Very often, there is little information on the website because of certain intricacies to the case being confidential. It is therefore fine to try and think more broadly/laterally and hypothesise as to what kind of work might have been required to assist the client. I also found looking more broadly online about the case (e.g. if it was an M&A case) helpful. This involved me typically looking at other websites .e.g Bloomberg. Through this, I was able to learn more about the clients involved in the case and what their business objectives were. This can help you consider the commercial implications of the case and learn more about the case through information that is open to the public/available online. [/QUOTE]
