[QUOTE="Alice G, post: 71435, member: 1160"] Hello there, I really apologise if the webinar was not as clear as it could have been regards this, the focus was more on M&A case studies where you receive an information pack to either write advice or present orally to an interviewer which was why these techniques focused on these instances. I only very briefly touched on other types of case study interviews, such as article style ones as you mention, as they were less of the focus. I cannot say anything regards the FF analytical interview - here is a link to their website which gives some insight [URL]https://ukgraduates.freshfields.com/how-do-i-apply/our-application-process[/URL]. PESTLE and the law firm approach can still arguably work with an article style of interview though, I think. Remember, as i said in the recording, this is not prescriptive and if you feel these techniques are not best suited to an article driven interview then definitely don't worry and do just go with what works for you. The thing with the law firm dept technique and PESTLE is that these approaches really don't need to be followed rigidly - they are better thought of as techniques and guiding frameworks to keep in your mind which will hopefully stimulate your thinking to consider issues which may not be as apparent on what you read, whether in an article or a case study bundle. These techniques are more for your benefit to help you to remember to consider these various different points and angles, which may otherwise be overlooked. So for example, when you are doing your AC prep and reading articles to practise, you can still be potentially thinking about the law firm departments and how things like finance, tax, litigation might be relevant to what you read. Similarly, PESTLE can help in a similar way to help you to think about environmental issues or political concerns related to what you are reading about. It may not be that every law firm dept would be relevant or indeed every PESTLE point but it is merely a framework to help guide your thinking and to catalyse your mind to think about points which may not be as obvious or which, in the pressure of an AC, you may have neglected to consider if it was not as obvious. As for spider diagrams, again, these are not prescriptive. I am just a person who finds these useful in all situations whether it be work, study etc. I hope this helps you a little bit! [/QUOTE]
