[QUOTE="Jacob Miller, post: 59592, member: 5063"] Hi :) The caveat to this is that my only experience of a situational judgement interview personally was with Herbert Smith Freehills, so I'm unsure if your firm will do this in the same way! Basically, it was extremely hard to prep for as it was a completely unknown situation I was going into. In my particular case, my situation was based off a contractual dispute; I'm Scots law backgrounded with a solid understanding of the English law nuances so I was comfortable enough with this, but someone without a decent understanding of contract law and disputes would have struggled. I would personally brush up on a few key areas: M&A, contract disputes, maybe some tort law, etc, so you have a broad-brush understanding. My biggest piece of advice, though, is just to [B]take it slow and steady[/B] in the interview. Take a few seconds to think, explain your thinking and working as well as your response in the abstract. Ask for clarification if you're unsure and let the interviewer guide you (they'll almost always nudge you in the right direction). Hope this helps :) [/QUOTE]
