TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

[Fuelled By Caffeine]

I’m researching a firm’s recent deals for a training contract interview. How much detail am I expected to know for the interview? Having read about a few deals on the firm’s website and in the FT, I can discuss some of the relevant commercial factors pertaining to these deals, but I can’t really talk about what the lawyers involved did - ie the types of documents drafted? Is this level of detail necessary or is it sufficient to just have a high level commercial understanding of a deal?
