Hi all

I've been invited to the Assessment Centre stage for Fieldfisher. The criteria for the assessment is:

An individual case study exercise (I suspect the case study will require either a PESTLE/SWOT analysis, which I have done before with Stephenson Harwood)
A team-based exercise and; (I have never done a team-based exercise before and I am unsure how to approach this)
An interview with one of our fee-earners (I am unsure if this is the Partner interview for the last stage, or if the Partner Interview is separate from this. I will treat it as though this is the Partner interview)

Does anyone have any experience with the case study exercises used by Fieldfisher? Furthermore, any guidance on the team-based exercise is much appreciated! Thank you so much :)
Hi, I’ve been invited to an AC as well:) But for Manchester.
Wish you all the good luck!
May I know which dates are available on their calendar as you logged into the system? I didn’t see any at the moment but want to know whether it will take place within 1-2 week?

Thanks a lot! Good luck!

I have been success in reaching the final stage of the TC process and I've been invited to a partner interview with Fieldfisher.

I have been told the interview with focus on:
Self-awareness
Integrity
Analytical skills
Communication skills
Questions designed around Fieldfisher values
And scenario based commercial questions

They advised me to review my application so I am prepared to talk about my attributes and strengths.

Fieldfisher are huge on Tech, Medical negligence, Cyber stuff and Life Science so I have been reading about things in this area.

I am a bit intimidated because I come from a personal injury background so being commercially aware isn't my strong point. Aside from:

1. Preparing questions from the 250 TCLA TC page
2. Reading news in the areas aforementioned above
3. Reading about the solicitors code of conduct
4. Researching the firm (like each department and what they do)

How can I prepare for commercial based scenario questions? I've never done something like that before, so I'm nervous.

Thank you!

    Hi! Congrats for getting through the AC and reach the final stage of the TC application!! It's not easy at all.

    I am going to have AC next week for VS and I have some insights on how to prepare for FF"s commercial based scenario questions. Do you wanna exchange some ideas by private msg? :)
