How to talk about law firms work?
For a firms sector strengths look at Chambers and Legal 500. Then you (as SLKE...etc...97) correctly said, how does that influence your desire to work there? Does it interest you, if so, how? I’d say forget about the ‘diverse array’ because a lot of firms practice in many fields, it doesn’t...- James Kitching

Query about: Big Tech Regulation - US Government Sues Google
Makes sense, the size of these tech companies is clearly making antitrust guidelines very blurry. An interesting future career I’d imagine.- James Kitching

Debevoise & Plimpton (20/21)
I think you should find a topic which takes your interest and clearly involves two parties, there are quite a few high profile recent M&A deals which went bad due to the pandemic and they would make for good discussion. A good example is LVMH-Tiffany, with many talking points including force...- James Kitching

It should (in my opinion) be fine, the EC has filed formal antitrust charges against Amazon for using their extensive data advantage against 3rd party vendors. This is one of many good examples of European and American antitrust ‘clampdowns’ and is most certainly relevant, especially if your...- James Kitching

General Discussion Thread 2020-21
Hi all, When discussing a recent commercial issue impacting a particular firm’s clients, does the issue need to directly relate to a client of the firm? Let me use my example: I wish to discuss growing antitrust concerns within the technology sphere. The firm has represented a company affected...- James Kitching

SPACs - A Question
Hi all, So I won’t pretend to know everything about financing deals, PE, SPACs, IPOs, direct listings etc, but I have done a bit of research over the months and I can’t shake this one thought.... Isn’t this just debt piling on debt? I read this morning about 2 PE firms (Dyal and Owl Rock)...- James Kitching

Commercial Awareness Discussion Thread
Firms have adopted new ways of working in light of the pandemic. They may of also taken cost cutting measures. Maybe these new ways of operating have shone light on financially efficient ways of working? Has the working day changed as a result of the new found method - working from home (not...- James Kitching

Bird & Bird application answer
I don’t believe you do, no. The question only asks for you to explain an opportunity within a sector, not to discuss the work done by B&B. You will also not be able to create a good enough answer if you try and explain the sector opportunity and relate it to the firm. In my written application...- James Kitching

Query about: Big Tech Regulation - US Government Sues Google
This is just the digital equivalent of a shop putting their products at the front of the store/in the window instead of third party lines. It (to me) is hardly a surprise and makes sense, why wouldn’t a marketplace promote their own brands/lines! All because it’s Amazon and contains the word...- James Kitching
