@Amma Usman @Andrei Radu @Ram Sabaratnam Hi! This is one of the application questions from the Weil VS Application. Just wanted to know how would you recommend structuring this answer and also researching about their clients? Thank you so much!
Think of a current commercial issue that has recently attracted your attention. Why does it interest you, why do you consider it to be significant and how do you think this will impact Weil's clients? (200)
Hiya

I’d recommend focusing on a recent development that ties closely to Weil’s main practice areas, like private equity or restructuring. Start by introducing the issue in the first paragraph. That is, explain what it is and why it interests you. Keep this paragraph concise, around 100 words.
In the second paragraph, you can then shift to discussing the commercial/legal implications of the issue for Weil’s clients. Think about the challenges or opportunities it might create for broad client groups, like private equity sponsors or portfolio management companies. Consider what specific advice or strategies those clients might need. In this paragraph, I'd encourage you to bring the focus back to Weil by connecting their expertise to the issue. Think about how the firm’s unique strengths position them to help clients navigate the challenges/opportunities you've identified.
By structuring your answer this way, I think you’ll create a clear, logical flow while demonstrating both your commercial awareness and your understanding of Weil’s capabilities. Good luck with your application!
