Normal
From original first post:Allen & Overy (vacation scheme)I believe the case study was rather chunky. I think it was designed so that there was no possible way you could get through all the documents in time. There were various issues - IP, client contracts, governing law issues, an ongoing dispute I believe. I think where I fell down was that I ha a banking partner interviewing me who obviously wanted to focus on a loan agreement that was part of this document pack. I believe he wanted me to talk about the different securities they had or would take and the possible issues that could arise as part of it and link this back to the facts we had been told. The loan agreement was quite substantial but if I were to recommend a document to spend an extra few minutes on, it would be that. Apart from that it was all rather straight forward.
