    For anyone who has had their OC AC would you mind sharing if the commercial exercise entailed a written element or is it just oral presentation?

    For M&A case studies should we just focus on the client/parties directly engaged in the transaction or do we need to bring in the law firm somehow (where the law firm listed in the case study scenario is not fictional but the firm you are applying to)?
