[QUOTE="Jacob Miller, post: 57561, member: 5063"] Hey, great question! I haven't interviewed with a private client firm personally, but I would approach it along a few broad lines: - firstly, it's going to be particularly relevant to a few specific interview questions: "why us?"/ "what other firms have you applied to?" etc etc. You can use your standard structure here but you obviously need to focus in on the specifics of private client work and why you find that attractive. - look where the main differences are in advising private clients vs international conglomerates. Rather than interacting with the 15-year PQE in-house GC with all his understanding and experience, you're interacting with Joe Bloggs and Jane Doe. How do you need to adapt your approach to interacting with these types of people? - consider as well what skills are applicable to both practice areas as these are likely to be key to a career in any legal specialism. Don't get so caught up in the nuances that you forget to build a really solid foundation! Best of luck with your AC :) [/QUOTE]
