[QUOTE="Karin, post: 35218, member: 2870"] I think these can vary greatly depending on whether you are provided with materials to read in advance or whether it is more "on the spot" case study. I had the "on the spot" case study where the partner was just telling me bits and pieces of the story and always asked me a question i.e. what do you think the general counsel needs to consider here? (we were talking aboot easyjet data breach). The story then kept on expanding and I was asked more questions as the case study developed. As for preparation, I would prepare in the normal way you would prepare for a case study, but some other tips: [LIST] [*]try explaining some of the concepts that you may get asked about (e.g. asset purchase vs share purchase) to yourself out loud or even to a friend so you know how to speak about it [*]have a paper and pen to hand so that you can make some notes if needs be [*]ask questions if you need some additional information / help and keep on trying to get to the answer. In my interview, there were loads of moments where I was completely lost and I told them that I actually didn't know but "let me think about it again", reiterated all the facts and tried to just say whatever I was thinking out load so that they can see your thought process even if you don't necessarily get the answer! [*]don't be too afraid to admit that you have no clue! [/LIST] Hope this helps a bit! [/QUOTE]
