Interview
Have case study and group interview for around 30 minutes for each case and discussion time for around another 30 minutes. You will have to present it in commercial and legal perspectives. The case will be more reality based and will requires you to present to the panel of interviewees. Your discussion may also be judged.
A nice mix of questions and went in depth about the company and job description. Make sure to dress the part (very corporate) as companies care about that a lot.
