    My Mishcon VI might have been the worst interview I've ever done lmao - I had prepped for 90 seconds instead of 60 (must have written it down wrong) and so couldn't finish my points for a single q. I think my points were good and I had an answer and understanding for every q but it was so rushed...

    I would summarise, give an example of a firm that’s a competitor, explain how the firm can be differentiated with a specific example of that in practice e.g they use X which is unique to this firm

    Hi everyone :) how would you go about an interview question about how a firm can maintain a competitive advantage in the current legal market? In terms of structure, things to pull on, etc. I keep coming back to AI & tech which is obviously important but I'd like to come up with a few more...
