Hey - I came across this, which I thought was quite a good explanation: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/20140311160225-136279118-business-development-what-does-it-mean-who-is-it-for/


I assume in the case study you will be given particular facts, which makes it hard to prepare for a specific event in advance. If they're still using the same scenario, I would suggest you try to understand the concept of BD - investopedia is good for a simple explanation, but you could also try reading a business textbook. You want to think about why companies care about BD, why it's important for the business, and what companies (and law firms) do to expand.


I would say the bigger focus, if it's a group activity, is less on your knowledge (because you won't need to know the technical stuff), but more about how you perform in a group. Although I know that can be hard to practice!
