I expect they will be looking for a demonstration of a combination of knowledge, experience and imagination/problem solving/lateral thinking.

If I was recruiting and using a written question like that, I'd also be regularly googling for it to see who is "phoning a friend" to help them come up with an answer. What I don't know is how I'd feel if I found it. Does the initiative of getting additional input outweigh the feeling that the candidate can't answer such a question from their own experience? Depends on the seniority of the position I guess. I'd certainly mention that I'd found their posting to them at interview, assuming I could link it to them.

Exactlt what first went through my mind, simple google of a fairly unique sentence/invented company name, bingo, -100 score before interview stage
ETA: And name and location in profile too

Was it just me that thought immediately of this...

Sorry, I already have what I think are some good answers, just looking for additional input

Then change the wording of your opening post, as it reads like "HELP! CAN'T WORK OUT WHAT THEY WANT ME TO SAY!"

My problem lies in the my responses entail generic sales cycle stuff, as I don't have vast experience selling to the legal profession.

Probably best to delete OP and go with my original answers

Selling to the legal profession; "this will make you money/save you time" that is all they will want to know.

Unless it's Soovy, in which case there needs to be some daily mail reference and MILFs in business suits.
