[QUOTE="Ginevra Bizzarri, post: 4027, member: 187"] Hi [USER=487]@Daniel Boden[/USER] I went to an AC with Macfarlanes last year and basically the day is split up in 3 tasks. One of the exercise is a negotiation exercise, essentially you get split up in teams of 2 or 3, given a brief and told what party you are acting for. you will have to push for your side and come up with reasoned points purely based on what is on the brief, so no prior legal experience is needed. there will be a moderator in the room who will facilitate the discussion and ask questions. another exercise (the one I found hardest) was a timed exercise which involved logic and a bit of basic maths. e if i remember well we were given a list of three people working for a company, each who wanted to leave for different reasons. then we were also given a copy of the employee contracts with different clauses relating to different reasons for leaving. so we had to match up the relevant clause with the relevant employee if this makes sense? and then based on that we had to figure out how much compensation, if any, they were entitled to upon leave. (all of this based on the manner in which they left, the date, and other relevant information which was specified in the contract). the last exercise consisted in us getting a case study and discussing it with a partner at the firm. my chat was quite nice and was more competency as opposed to commercial focused. hope this helps!
