This is one of the questions for Weil's fast track scheme:

Think of a current commercial issue that has recently attracted your attention. Why does it interest you, why do you consider it to be significant and how do you think this will impact Weil’s clients? (300)

Struggling on how to answer the question so would be great if anyone can advise me. Thanks

    I find it helps to take such questions bit by bit:

    What’s been in the news recently that’s interested you?
    - Think why it interests you. Is it the uncertainty? The change it brought? A positive influence? It’s important to explain the why.

    Why’s the topic you’re interested in relevant to a business?
    -Think: what’s the impact/effect/consequences for a business?
    -You could also link, or combine, the effects/consequences with the first part of the question.

    •How, from that business perspective, could it affect Weil’s clients?
    -You could pick one client or clients that are in the same practice area. The key point is you understand how the topic could affect the client’s business.

    That makes it easier - thanks!
