Message: <blockquote data-quote="Amma Usman" data-source="post: 212184" data-attributes="member: 36740">Hey! I’d like to start off by saying that while 30 minutes sounds like a lot, in the interview world it really flies by. Typically, the first 3 to 4 minutes are spent on introductions. You’ll introduce yourself, the partner will introduce their practice area, and HR will likely explain their role and how the interview will be structured. That’s roughly 25 minutes left. Since you haven’t been asked to prepare anything in advance, I personally doubt there will be a case study element. It will most likely be situational/motivational and competency-based. So definitely prepare for the usual questions such as why commercial law, why Beale & Co specifically, and what draws you to their work.Make sure you understand their core practice areas in depth. If there are any gaps in your knowledge or things you cannot find online, those are great areas to ask the partner about during the interview. It shows curiosity and initiative. It is as much a learning opportunity as it is an assessment.If you have been given the partner’s name, it is worth researching their background and some of their notable work. That way, you can ask thoughtful questions that show you have done more than surface-level research. If you have not been given their name, just familiarise yourself with the firm’s main practice areas and think about what you would genuinely want to learn more about, especially if the partner works in one of those areas.Best of luck. You have got this. Treat it as a two-way conversation where you are also finding out if the firm is right for you.</blockquote>
