Just to add to what Jacob has already said, think about commercial issues facing that company as well. Are they likely to grow in size, are there many opportunities in the industry that they can take advantage of, how would the law firm be able to offer its services to help it in these business opportunities. You could also look into who the client you've chosen currently use for representation (which firms make up its legal panel) and consider how the firm you're applying to is better placed to meet the client's needs. Also think about the client's international strategy, what level of support it would need globally and how your firm can meet that!

Thank you so much!!!!

Hey everyone,

Our forum is a big priority for us this year, which is why we're frequently on the lookout for experienced future trainees to join the forum team.

With that in mind, I'm delighted to introduce @Neville Birdi. You can expect to see him around the forum answering your questions and contributing to the commercial discussions - he has a lot of experience, but I'll leave it to him to tell you more about himself. I know you'll all make him feel welcome .

Best!

Jaysen

I did them last year and passed. There really isn’t much you can do but play it and try to think of it as a game rather than an assessment
