[QUOTE="Ram Sabaratnam, post: 214339, member: 36738"] Hiya [USER=34873]@AS24[/USER] TCLA had a question bank, which included some scenario based questions. I've attached them below for your reference: [LIST=1] [*]What would you do if a client asked you to do something which you didn’t think was the best move for them to make? [*]What would you do if you have a flight to catch in the morning and work to get done tonight but a partner asks you to attend a client dinner? [*]What would be your view on if the firm worked with very wealthy oligarchs? [*]A fellow trainee is being rowdy at an event. How would you approach this? [*]What would you do if a staff member was being rude to you? Would your response differ if they were a partner? [*]What would you do if a client tells you that you've performed a piece of work extremely badly? [*]If you were sat on the train and you saw opposing counsel reading a confidential bundle about your case, which you could read, what would you do? [*]If you finished a meeting and were clearing out papers and you realised that opposing counsel had left a confidential document on the table, what would you do? [*]You’re a trainee going into new seat – how do you prepare? [*]You're a trainee. You're moved to another team by an associate. You were doing well so don’t know why you were moved. You aren't familiar with the new deal team's work. What do you do? [*]How would you make a client presentation 'innovative'? [*]There is a client meeting for a signing of a contract but the partner and senior associate on the case are running late. The printer has messed up the documents which you have gone to collect, and the clients have now arrived. What do you do? [*]A partner invites you to a client dinner, but you have a lot of work, what do you do? [*]A client wants you to sign a deal, but the partner is not there, what do you do? [*]Should [firm you are interviewing at] decide not to take on certain types of clients? Follow up question: Then, specifically, should [firm you are interviewing at] agree to do work for North Korea [*]You put your money in a vending machine and don’t end up getting your item. You are a particularly litigious person and want to sue someone for it. Who would you sue and why? [*]The other party has made a mistake on a joint venture agreement that benefits your client, what do you do? [*]What would you do if you were asked to close down a family factory? [*]What would you do if a partner and an associate asked you to do the same work and it was the same deadline? [/LIST] Hope this helps and good luck with any interview preparation! [/QUOTE]
