[QUOTE="reedyboy, post: 40056, member: 5731"] Haven't heard back yet so not sure how it went! But it was an enjoyable interview, the Partner was really friendly and we had a great conversation. It is definitely a less structured format than other interviews, but I found that this worked really well. I was able to learn a lot about the firm but also just enjoy the process. We spoke a lot about my educational background (non-law) and went through parts of my application, there is definitely a focus on the commercial awareness question. The article review mainly involved talking about the commercial and legal implications of the article, I would say when they email it over, try not to panic and just try to prepare some talking points, it is best to have a personal view on the article and an awareness of the bigger implications. They also send over a bio of your interviewer 15 minutes before (along with the article), I think this is a really good way to do it as I had more personalised questions and learnt more about one of the firm's practices. The Partner said that it would take about a week or so, so hoping to hear back at some point this week. Hope this was helpful and good luck with your interview! [/QUOTE]
