Hi. I've just done it.hey did you have the assessment centre, how did it go? im applying for scotland
HiHi @Sarai! Thank you for sharing and I hope you get through!
I'm not doing the Dentons AC but was generally wondering, how much detail do you need to know about deal structure? Did they ask specific questions?
Do you think interviewers tend to ask more legal questions if you've studied a law degree? Was this the case for you?Hi
I would say you need to know a fair amount. Or have really good business common sense. The interviewers do guide you but I honestly don't know how you could do that without any commercial law knowledge. I've been asked about derivatives and private equity in other interviews, some of these firms really require a lot of prep.
I'm not sure. I haven't spoken to other people that interviewed.Do you think interviewers tend to ask more legal questions if you've studied a law degree? Was this the case for you?
hey! hope your AC went well, have you heard back at all?Hi. I've just done it.
For the written exercise I would say plan your time really well, make sure you have enough time to write but read as in depth as possible. I was asked questions on the details within the documents for the exercise.
For the second part (case study/interview) I would research what the role of a solicitor is, how corporate deals are structured and then prepare standard motivational and competency answers.
Hi I haven't heard back yet. I don't want to share the specific scenario just to pay but you're along the right lines. More about the role of a solicitor than actual points of law.hey! hope your AC went well, have you heard back at all?
as for the the case study and written exercise, was this based on an investment scenario like previous years? for example, an M&A scenario or a company looking to grow sort of thing?
also, did they ask you any sort of legal questions? I see you mentioned derivatives and private equity
thanks
