    Yeah it is such a tedious process. I have them written out on a document and copy and paste to make the process a bit quicker, but in my experience most firms make you input each module individually.

    I think as long as you talk about why that merger is interesting to YOU it’s fine to mention. Although, I’m not sure if I would spend a lot of time on this reason. For example does the merger help the firm tap into new markets or get a stronger foothold in them? If so why is this appealing to you?

    In up to 600 words, please outline up to three significant challenges that you think all law firms will face over the next 5 years. You should draw on your current awareness and commercial awareness to answer this question. Would breaking this down into subheadings be a good idea?

    I think as long as you connect it with examples of why that resonate with you it’s okay. Realistically, a lot of answers to this question are going to have similar points, so it’s up to you to personalise them.

    That is what I thought! I think the question I am going to struggle with the most is, 'With reference to your professional, academic and personal experiences, what makes Stephenson Harwood the right place for you to train?'. It's had to come up with 600 words to write about a firm that has had...

    Is this for Stephenson Harwood? I thought 600 words for each question is quite excessive. I am definitely using geopolitical conflict as one of the examples, especially with the recent presidential election.
