It was a good assessment centre. Started with a written exercise (just an email chain with some requests; follow every direction and have a really sharp eye for grammar and spelling), then general partner interview that went over your CV and background, and some situational questions. We then did the commercial awareness/analytical interview, where we had 40 minutes (I think?) to read an article and write our notes, which we then got to take in and talked about it. I found this one a bit more tricky, but just try to think awareness, not argumentative. They asked me to consider the impacts of various commercial and tech changes on Freshfields and their clients, and talk more in general about commercial trends in the world.
