Hi all,


One theme that commonly appears in training contract/vacation scheme applications is discussing a recent business deal (or story) in the news that has captured the applicant's interest and how that might impact the firm and its clients. 


How do you determine how a business deal might impact a firm that has no involvement in the deal? I know that some deals represent a shift in market (or regulatory) conditions, which is something that the firm could advise their clients on.


Is it preferred or standard practice to use a deal that the firm has worked on or had some sort of involvement in?


And in terms of structure, would the below be appropriate?


1. The business deal (short sentence or two)

2. Why it's captured my interest (back up with evidence of possible, e.g. completed a course on private equity)

3. How it impacts the firm

4. How it impacts the clients


Grateful for any advice and suggestions :).
