How was OC?

It was pretty good thank you - the research exercise is fairly straightforward, just a commercial scenario where you prepare a pitch which you then give to two lawyers. They will then ask you questions relating to your presentation, but nothing majorly challenging. Then a deductive reasoning test, which I think I fluffed unfortunately! Then the day is over, you'll be fine!

Hey, hope you are doing well! I saw that you had an AC last year with HFW, and was wondering if you could help me out with some advice as I have mine next week!

Hi!

The partners are so nice!

Understand how business works. Commercial awareness is key. Contract terms, warranties and indemnities… that sort of stuff.

Scenario interview use your common sense.
