The emphasis was much more on motivation and fit with Fieldfisher than on technical legal knowledge. Expect questions around:Why Fieldfisher specifically (and this is where being clear on their sectors and culture really matters)Why commercial law / why a training contractYour experiences to date and what you’ve taken from themCompetency-style questions (teamwork, dealing with challenges, communication etc)What stood out to me was that they were genuinely interested in how you think and whether you’d be a good fit for the firm, rather than testing you on black-letter law. Having clear, well-structured examples and being able to explain why Fieldfisher appeals to you, beyond surface-level points,  went a long way. Also, a BIG TIP, try not to use the same points you made in your applications, using some points from it and adding something new is ideal. Best of luck and well done again on getting to this stage!</blockquote>
