Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ram Sabaratnam" data-source="post: 190411" data-attributes="member: 36738">Hiya [USER=28496]@bella98[/USER]That's so impressive that you ran a small business whilst studying - wowza!Yes, I think a structured approach is great (it's how I typically answered this type of question). I also recommend adding a tad bit of nuance when discussing your interest in both law and business. Oftentimes, applicants simply make this point without much further explanation. Instead, try to think about what makes the blend of law and business interesting. For instance, working with businesses means helping them with legal decisions that can affect not just one person but entire organisations, their employees, shareholders, and customers. For this reason, commercial law often requires engaging with legal issues that are both complex and multi-faceted. Alternatively, maybe you're interested in this area of law because of the high level of collaboration it typically demands. Again, in commercial law, you’re not just working with your own team to offer legal advise, but also with other departments at your firm, as well as engaging with teams of in-house counsel, executives, regulators, and professionals from other fields like finance or consulting. This level of collaboration can make commercial law particularly interesting when compared to other types of client services or other areas of law. Overall, just try to be specific and demonstrate that you can make the point in a more sophisticated way. Thus, you should avoid simply stating that that the blend of the two is 'complex', 'collaborative', or 'dynamic'. Rather, you should try to show the reader how that's the case (in the way I've tried to do above). Hope this helps and best of luck with your application!</blockquote>
