[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 26046, member: 1"] King & Spalding Vacation Scheme Interview 2020 By Anonymous 1. Presentation + interview (30 minutes for both) The presentation was to be prepared ahead of AC (one week notice) with the presentation handouts (if any) to be sent to the grad team two days before the AC. We were asked to prepare a 5 minute presentation on a recent news topic that we find interesting and how it relates to the legal sector and what opportunities it presents to the firm. Even though it was said to last roughly 5 minutes, it was not actually timed. The first part of the conversation with partner and associate revolved around the presentation, so prepare for potential follow-up questions. The interview part was quite short due to the lack of time, the questions were standard "Tell me about yourself", "Why did you decide to apply to K&S?", etc. 2. Negotiation exercise (30 minutes) We received a scenario whereby a small town received a fund of £50mln and had to divide it between different investments which would make the town more attractive and stronger economically. Everybody (about 8 people in the room) was assigned a project (e.g. a car park) which had its value on it and was given 10 minutes to prepare a 2 minute pitch to the room convincing others to agree to their project. This was followed by some 10 minutes of discussion on which 3 project the town should invest in. 3. Letter writing (1 hour) Let me start by saying, it was NOT your usual letter writing exercise that you would expect! The scenario had little to do with legal knowledge but more with making convincing arguments in general so there is little you can do to prepare for it. 4. Lunch We were told that this was an important part of the day, too! [/QUOTE]
