Anyone who has already done the Freshfields AC got any advice? Particularly in relation to the analytical interview.
Keep a level head and try to have fun with it. It is not super technical and the interviewers will try to guide you towards a discussion of the points that are salient for assessment purposes. I believe there are particular things that they are looking for you to address but I think there are also points for raising interesting/relevant comments even if it's 'off book' so to speak. When reading the article, focus in the first instance on making sure you understand what's going on in it at a fairly granular level BEFORE thinking about what you might want to say about it.
