Group exercises tend to feel much more nerve-wracking in the build up, but once you get stuck in, it is far more manageable.In terms of topics, they are usually broad commercial scenarios that test a few areas, rather than niche legal areas. For example, it could involve: advising a company on expansion, choosing between different investment options, or allocating funding across various projects. Sometimes it is framed around a transaction, such as an acquisition or restructuring, but the focus is on how you analyse information and work as a team.They will be assessing how you communicate and listen, whether you build on others' points, your commercial judgment, time management and structure, and whether you help the group reach a decision.For a few commercial topics to be aware of, I would make sure that you understand:1. Interest rate environment and how that affects borrowing and deal activity2. Refinancing risk and distressed opportunities (i.e. companies that have debt maturing in a high-rate environment may struggle to refinance)3. Regulatory scrutiny in certain sectors (i.e. antitrust, national security, or sector-specific regulations)I hope that assists, and best of luck - I'm sure you'll smash it! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
