[QUOTE="Jacob Miller, post: 61502, member: 5063"] In my experience, they're quite hard to do a lot of prep for as the scenarios were very wide-ranging and. varied between candidates at my AC there. I would personally brush up. on the basic mechanics of contracts (including boilerplate/ common clauses etc) and also probably the mechanics of a deal (timeline, process, important docs etc) as well as your classic company law stuff/ shareholders' rights etc. In all honesty, though, there is a very realistic chance that it will be something quite left-field and you'll have to think on your feet a fair amount. There's nothing wring with this at all, either! When you're actually in the interview, just take things at a slightly slower pace rather than trying to rush answers out. Take a few seconds to think, have a sip of water, explain your thought processes as well as just your actual answer and also ask further questions to try and elicit more information. The idea behind this interview is to really test whether you have the potential to be able to process a lot of information in an area you're not familiar with and essentially 'think like a lawyer' in how you approach stuff. In my experience, it doesn't matter quite so much if not everything you suggest is 100% factually on point, more your logic/ reasoning and approach to the situation/ obtaining information etc. [/QUOTE]
