[QUOTE="Salma, post: 163, member: 23"] Hi Bonnie! Congrats on the final TC interview! Re the written case study (I have not completed one with Ashurst before but from past experiences) it is usually an acquisition scenario, Jaysen has helpfully created a guide relating to this, check it out here ([URL]https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/why-do-you-want-to-be-a-commercial-lawyer/[/URL]). But general tips: 1. You will probably be given a chunk of information to go through - bring a highlighter go through the headlines of each document and highlight/skim/scan all the key information. 2. Brush up on basic financial considerations such as balance sheet (Assets v Liabilities), exchange rates and how the company will fund the acquisition (debt or equity) and then the general SWOT analysis. 3. HR interview will probably have predictable competency questions , prepare different examples for each competency. Allow the conversation to flow and don't spill a jug of water on the table as soon as you walk in (I did just this). But also prepare briefly for random questions such as - How many dentists are there in London? 4. Partner interview will (I think) consist of other typical questions such as why Ashurst, why Law, why you and current commercial issues/what you think of it (they will probably challenge your opinion on this but stand your ground!!). They might draw upon work experience/certain modules you completed and ask what you have learned from them. Good Luck! Also, I was just wondering if you could offer any tips on how to approach the questions? Ashurst have a separate question relating to how they differentiate themselves from their competitors so I was wondering if you spoke about why ashurst in your cover letter and then again in the separate additional question? and did you stick to one page for the cover letter (conflicted if I should stick to one page or a page and half). Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
