As he explained, focus on showcasing your commercial awareness and the firm‘s existing expertise. I have nothing to add to this - I would just briefly touch on possible additional discussion topics based off recent trends;Renewable energy, tech and AI, and healthcare are some of the fastest-growing industries right now. They’re literally shaping how the world works, but with all that growth, there are so many challenges that companies face, and this is where law firms step in big time. Take renewable energy, for example. Everyone’s racing toward net-zero emissions, right? But building something like an offshore wind farm or scaling up green hydrogen production isn’t just about having the technology. Companies have to deal with complex regulations, environmental laws, and funding agreements. That’s where lawyers come in, they help these companies navigate all the red tape, negotiate contracts, and make sure everything’s legally airtight. Without this kind of help, it’s so easy for projects to get delayed or, worse, shut down entirely. Then there’s tech and AI, which are moving crazy fast. The opportunities are endless, automating processes, making better decisions with AI, all of that. But it also comes with risks. Think about data privacy, companies can get into serious trouble if they mishandle user data. Or if they’re developing new AI tools, they’ve got to worry about patents and ethical concerns. Law firms are like the guardians here, helping businesses stay compliant with laws like GDPR, protecting their intellectual property, and advising on how to use AI responsibly. And healthcare? Oh, it’s booming; gene therapies, telemedicine, AI in diagnostics. But the stakes are super high because of all the regulations, the time it takes to get FDA or EMA approvals, and even ethical concerns around things like personalised medicine. Lawyers help navigate all that complexity, making sure companies can actually bring these amazing innovations to market without getting tangled up in lawsuits or regulatory issues. So, dig deep to see if NRF has a growing interest in advising on these areas. I’m sure it likely will as all the global firms have to move with these widespread trends.. to stay competitive. I also know of NRF’s strong energy expertise.Although, I recommend being really mindful with how you talk about common topics like this that many candidates will mention. If you’re bringing it up, ensure you hit the nail on the head and explain the commercial awareness point strongly and NRF’s position/ potential contributions. </blockquote>
