At 10am, we were each placed in a room for half an hour in which we had to read the brief of a case study and prepare for our presentation which would be delivered to the Partner. Then at 11:45am, we had another interview but this was with a member of the graduate recruitment team which lasted just over 45 mins. Please provide a summary of each assessment on the day with approximate timings.The case study - we were given 30 mins to read it which generally consisted of company X selling their company off to company Y, and within the case study, there was information on the financing of the deal, litigation issues, employment and real estate issues. Within this 30 mins, we also had to prepare a 10 mins presentation to the Partner regarding the delay and whether we believed they should represent the client, and whether the deal should be finalised. The scenario-based interview was quite easy and basically consisted of a member of HR asking situational judgment questions such as ‘you are working on a deal and your member is slacking, what would you do?’, and after every answer, we were made to give an example of when we had be in a similar situation. There were about 5-6 of these questions. Please list any interview questions you were asked.-what is the difference a warranty and an indemnity?- what are the ways you can finance an acquisition?- why is the balance sheet important ?- what would be your approach if the company had a breach of cyber security?- which is more efficient, an asset sale purchase or a share sale purchase?What is your best advice for each aspect of the assessment on the day? Please break this down for each assessment. This can include advice for preparation, as well as tips for the day.For the case study interview, make sure you have prepped loads on practice case studies and are able to decipher the issues quickly in a piece of information and come up with a solution. Also, ensure that you are able to think quickly on your feet and don’t be scared to go against what the Partner has stated, even if they put forward the impression that you are wrong; they like people who hold their stance.In regard to the scenario based interview, know the values of the firm inside out and always make sure you apply an approach, whether this is the STAR approach. Be sure you have a solid structure and stick to it.Were you successful?Yes</blockquote>
