Pinsent Masons a big focus on motivation. To prepare, I would really think about your answer for why you chose to study law and then why you then chose commercial law instead of academia or criminal law etc. Make sure you're clear on the differences and you can back it up with any evidence. They will probably follow up on your answers and try to tease out what aspects you find interesting. I think they did ask one or two competency questions but they were brief and simple ones - like tell me about a time you worked in a team. They also brought up a few things from my application.The commercial question was about what are the challenges facing law firms at the moment and we had a brief discussion on that.In terms of tips, I would echo everything said above. I think I spoke a bit too quietly on the phone at times (I was nervous!) so I would try to be clear and project your voice if you can. I would make sure you review your application before the interview and if you get stuck, don't be worried about starting again or asking the interviewer to repeat the question - they understand telephone interviews can be nervewracking!Best of luck!!</blockquote>
