Hey
@Untilwinter,
There are things to take into account:
- Do your research on the clients of the firm. This could be down through looking at the website of the firm, or look at websites such as chambers student, legal cheek, or any other legal-based website. I think it is really important to know exactly which are the clients of the firms that you might be interested in. Eventually, LinkedIn is also a good way to learn about the clients as some times the law firms will comment on some clients' successes or repost their posts.
- Once you have selected the client you want to talk about, do some further research on the client and identify a business issue that it is facing or has been facing recently.
- I would not focus too much on going over the issue and explaining the intricacies of that, but mainly focus on how you think the company can implement new ways to face the issue, and how the law firm can assist from a legal stand point. When it comes to this last point, I would focus on whether there are issues within the organisation or with a transaction they recently went into, I would look at synergy issues, employees satisfaction, position of the company within the market (when it comes to the company entering into a transaction for instance) or implementation of new market strategy, diversification of products sold (if the issue is more internal to the company). These are just examples of things to think about.
I hope this helps you and good luck!
