[QUOTE="Naomi U, post: 46318, member: 4043"] Hi [USER=3627]@Tony[/USER] Hope you are well. Congratulations on your recent interview offer! To prepare for case study based scenario interviews I would suggest becoming familiar with legal terms relevant to M&A transactions as this is the basis of most case studies. A good place to start is to consider: 1. What is a Sales Purchase Agreement (SPA)? 2. What is the difference between a Share v Asset Purchase and the advantages and disadvantages of either? 3. What are the different ways to finance an acquisition e.g. via equity or debt? 4. What are some ways to absolve liability in a contract e.g. the use of conditions, warranties, and indemnities 5. What are some key due diligence issues e.g. outstanding liabilities, employment & staffing concerns, IP concerns (e.g. licensing agreements), the existence of clauses such as change of control clauses, competition and tax concerns etc. These are just some useful ideas to get you thinking, but I have linked below one of our extremely helpful guides which should provide greater insight! Also feel free to check out some of our M&A courses, which go into even greater depth. As for personalised scenario-based interviews, this is slightly harder to prepare for, in the sense that the content of your interview will be heavily dependent on the member of grad recruitment, partner or associate conducting this. Therefore, my advice for this section is to be logical with your reasoning. You are not expected to know the exact answer, but I believe that this section tests your ability to think on your feet and show logical reasoning. Feel free to ask your interviewer to clarify points you may not understand and offer your answers with an explanation. For example, if you are unsure you could begin your answer as such; " With regard to X information or in X circumstance perhaps...." I hope this provides some clarity, but please feel free to ask any more questions you may have! Best of luck!
