Hi Jaysen,
Thanks for your reply.
I actually went with when I started my new job in the end. I felt this was quite important as it was my first real taste of commercial work. In turn, this solidified my desire to become a commercial solicitor. Hopefully, this is ok!
My only reservation is I talk about my desire to become a commercial solicitor, but what I mean by that is my desire to work with businesses to help bring ideas to reality. I do explain that in the answer, but should I be careful with saying I want to become a commercial solicitor specifically? Does that sound like I am limiting myself to purely commercial work (i.e. contracts) as opposed to some of the other areas you typically find in a commercial law firm?
Hi
@Lumree !
I agree with
@Jaysen , I think there is no right or wrong answer.
I am not aware of your other application questions but I would make sure you haven't already detailed the reasons why you want to become a commercial lawyer elsewhere in the application form.
I would try to elaborate on something new. Tell me if this makes sense!
And as to the second part of your question, I think the idea of helping businesses "bring ideas to reality" as you say can involve drafting contracts, but also advising on mergers, acquisitions if the idea of the company is to expand, on financing that acquisition, advising on real estate if the idea of the company is to acquire a new building etc.... (which all involve contracts of course)
All these ideas can be brought to reality with the help of a commercial law firm. So it doesn't seem to me you are restricting yourself to anything. But this depends on how you actually wrote your answer.
Does this answer your question?
Would you agree
@Jaysen ?
Good luck with your application !
