How would you answer the question of where a law firm should open a new office?

Has anyone heard anything for the Macfarlanes summer vacation scheme after an AC in March?

 

[KSM]

How would you answer the question of where a law firm should open a new office?

Consider what makes sense for the firm’s business model. For example, if the firm has particular strengths in shipping, consider bigger picture aspects like the geography of the location (land-locked or easily accessible due to many ports) or the overall client demand in the area and considerations its clients will have in the new location I.e the new location’s tonnage and import tax regulations, geopolitical instability which will affect supply chains etc. Try to break answer down in component so the person reading your answer can make sense of your thought process.

Hope this helps!

Me neither! Emailed them today as well. No point worrying about it though, its out of our hands and as someone once said 'Worrying is about as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum'!

Hey! Did they ever get back to you?

The SH assessment says it includes numerical & verbal as well as scenario based reasoning questions. I checked the practice test but wasn't sure what the best way is to prepare for it. Any advice?

Also anyone who's already done it can you confirm its untimed?

Thank you!

Thank you!

It is untimed for both VI and SJT- advice would be to look up firm values when answering

Have I got myself a PFO if I didn’t get one.

I did a good application as well for them

I would just wait and see! No point in negative speculation...they may not have sent out all their assessment invites just yet. Fingers crossed for you!
