Remember, you’ve been invited because they already believe you have the potential to succeed. Go in with a positive mindset, trust your abilities, and focus on doing your best!Whilst I have not completed an assessment centre at A&O Shearman before, I have quoted a post below on some advice I have previously given based on the exercises involved in their assessment centre - hopefully it is a useful starting point!In terms of the technical knowledge required, it's helpful to brush up on recent commercial news (particularly major developments such as the Budget) and think about how these events might affect law firms. Go a step further by considering how these commercial issues could impact A&O Shearman's core client base, and what A&O Shearman might do to support clients in navigating those challenges.You're not necessarily expected to have economist-level expertise; rather, aim to show a clear and practical understanding of how broader economic and commercial trends influence businesses (and, by extension, law firms).Best of luck - you've got this!! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
