November 2018What was it for? Winter Vacation SchemePlease describe the interview process at Herbert Smith Freehills.Group exercise with all 8 candidates as a company expanding business into India we had to decide from a range of options what strategies they should use to develop their business, taking into consideration our budget. We had 15 mins to read the brief and 30 mins to discuss with group and agree on a solution.Four partners were assessing us throughout the group exercise Then there’s a case study and presentation. 45mins to read the case study and 10 mins to present to a partner. The case study based around contracts and contract law. The partner asks various questions about your recommendations Then finally there’s a competency interview with another partner, I was asked the usual competency questions, as well as a question about a legal issue that the firm is working on and how I would approach it. Finally the day ended with a tour with trainees and lunch with a partner.What advice would you give to future applicants for the Herbert Smith Freehills interview?Read over contract law, especially about terms, warranties and remedies. Don't panic if the partner asks you about something that you might not have picked up in the case study, there was a slightly tricky question, and the partner basically had to give me the answer. For the competency interview think about the different departments at a law firm, as there is a question that takes you through an acquisition and asks what departments would be involved at different stages. The group task was probably the hardest part of the day as 8 is quite a large group, just try make sure you get your voice heard, but be polite. If you don't agree with what someone is saying remain respectful of their opinion, at the same time if someone is taking really long to get their point across or keeps dwelling on the same point you can remind them of the time constraints and encourage them to move on.</blockquote>
