Demo case file · Onsite / Panel
International law firm
Trainee Solicitor
This is a demo case file: a realistic example written from commonly known interview formats, not a real candidate's interview experience.
Questions asked
- Here is a two-page client email about a supplier breaching a contract. You have 20 minutes to identify the issues, then talk us through them.
- Tell us about a recent business news story and what it means legally for the companies involved.
- Why commercial law, and why our firm?
What to expect
A written exercise followed by a partner interview. In the exercise they valued spotting the commercial issues (the client wants to keep the supplier) as well as the legal ones. Commercial awareness was tested hard with several follow-ups on my chosen news story.
