[QUOTE="axelbeugre, post: 151352, member: 30937"] Congratulations! Such an amazing achievement! I spoke to some of my friends who went through the process last year and they all said that what you should focus on is: [LIST=1] [*]Show a strong motivation for commercial law: be very confident in your reasons why you want to be a lawyer and especially a commercial lawyer. This will show them your commitment to the profession! [*]Articulate very clearly why you want to join the firm: this means knowing your genuine reasons as to why you want to join the firm and I would also emphasise whether you would want to stay and have a long career there since this is one of the things that they seem to preach the most about the firm. [*]Have a very good commercial awareness: this was one of the key points all my friends and the people I spoke to emphasised. They said that it is really important to be commercially sound and know how a certain business news affect the legal sector. It seems as though a lot of people who are not successful did not manage to show their commercial awareness to the best of their abilities, so I would say to work on it. [*]Be very professional: be mindful of how you are dressed and you present to the partners, professionalism is key at S&M so I would embrace this heavily. [/LIST] I hope these tips are helpful and good luck with the interview and congratulations for making this far! [/QUOTE]
