Partner interview at Fieldfisher. Any advice?

[acheampong29]

Hi all.

I have been success in reaching the final stage of the TC process and I've been invited to a partner interview with Fieldfisher.

I have been told the interview with focus on:
Self-awareness
Integrity
Analytical skills
Communication skills
Questions designed around Fieldfisher values
And scenario based commercial questions

They advised me to review my application so I am prepared to talk about my attributes and strengths.

Fieldfisher are huge on Tech, Medical negligence, Cyber stuff and Life Science so I have been reading about things in this area.

I am a bit intimidated because I come from a personal injury background so being commercially aware isn't my strong point. Aside from:

1. Preparing questions from the 250 TCLA TC page
2. Reading news in the areas aforementioned above
3. Reading about the solicitors code of conduct
4. Researching the firm (like each department and what they do)

How can I prepare for commercial based scenario questions? I've never done something like that before, so I'm nervous.

Thank you!

Hi, what did they ask about then? How commercial was it/was the SRA relevant? Also, what other types of exercises were there? Many thanks
