[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 222064, member: 42112"] Hello! I’d still mention it! Unless a firm specifies, there is no real time limit on how recent a deal or case needs to be, especially if it genuinely interests you. Whilst a recent deal is usually best, the important part is that you can write a good answer based on it - which is a lot easier to do if you find it interesting! Additionally, if the work is still relevant (e.g. it has a lasting impact or reflects an area that the firm continues to focus on) it’s completely fine to talk about. You could just acknowledge the date (e.g. “Although this was back in 2021…”) and then focus on why it stood out to you and what it shows about the firm’s strengths. I hope that assists, and best of luck with your application! :) [/QUOTE]
