Practice makes perfect
You have worked hard to win an assessment centre spot. You are close to your goal of securing a training contract. Don’t let it slip away.
To make the most of this chance, you need to prepare effectively for the commercial case study exercise. Use our high-quality written and live practice case studies to practise and learn:
- In our live case study, you will take on the role of a trainee lawyer at the commercial law firm Young & Page. Your supervisor has sent you 15 pages of emails, internal memos and newspaper articles about a fictional pharmaceutical transaction. You have 45 minutes to review the documents and prepare answers to your supervisor’s questions before he gets back to the office.
- In our written case study, you will provide commercial advice to a struggling clothing manufacturer. There’s a kick-off call in 45 minutes. You need to review their current business model based on 10 pages of memos, emails and charts. Then you need to draft your recommendations on the client’s strategy for your supervisor to present on the call.
Each mock case study provides a crucial opportunity for you to practice and learn. Just like mock exam papers, practising a mock case study is the best way to prepare yourself for your assessment centre.
We’ve seen dozens of real-life example case studies. Our founders are qualified lawyers who assess candidates on actual assessment days. As a result, the NCL Case Studies are the closest examples of the real thing.
But competition is intense. Even this is not enough by itself…
