Hi all! I'm applying to Ropes & Gray and attempting to draft an answer to their application question-
What three proposals would you make to the Partnership if you were Chair of Ropes & Gray? (500 words)
I haven't come across a question like this before, any tips on how I can proceed?
I don't want to rush it by adding generic points since the word count is also substantial.

It's an extremely tough question. My approach - bear in mind i was unsuccessful - was to focus on the firm's market position and client base and possible ways to build that out. I looked at possible geographic expansion, developing a niche practice group and broader ESG integration. Common thread was that all would be a value-add to some portion of existing clients + potentially attract new clients, all leveraging existing strengths.Hi all!

Ultimately I think the most important thing is to remember that this question wants you to show you understand 1) business generally 2) law as a business and 3) Ropes specifically. If you achieve those things you'll be in the runningHi all! I'm applying to Ropes & Gray and attempting to draft an answer to their application question-

Yes (also CC) I would suggest using Assessment day and check youtube to learn how to ace WG
For Skadden and Davis Polk, I think we can expect a response in early January. Davis Polk will get back to people after the deadline and I believe Skadden is holding next stage interviews in January!
Kirkland and Davis Polk are non rolling and haven't closed yet so I'd expect a couple weeks after close. Skadden is rolling and closed and I think could really be whenever. I wouldn't expect anything before next week, and reckon mid-late Jan for most.
You won't get answers for any of the practice tests from the test provider as often those questions will come up in the real test - Lawyer Portal's practice WG is good for giving answers and reasonings why its right or wrong
