[QUOTE="Andrew M, post: 75910, member: 4557"] I don't have experience with W&C but have done quite a few group exercise this year. They tend to give you a task along with a scenario and/or a document with a load of facts and figures. You get some time to look through them independently. Then you're given a period of time to discuss within your group and prepare to present to a partner. This will usually involve a Q&A. The tasks themselves can vary. One of mine this year was to advise a client on funding a new business opportunity. One was to think of a new "service" for a firm to offer to clients. One was organising an annual conference for clients. One was to propose something to a firm which would make employees who work virtually feel more included. In the past I've also known tasks where you pitch a business idea to a bank, advise a client of pros/cons to moving their business overseas, and pitching a "legal tech" product. In terms of tips, I would say (cliché) be yourself. Consider what your strengths are when working in a team and look to use that (e.g. are you a leader or a thinker, evaluator, shaper, etc). Regardless of what you are, make sure to both voice your own views and develop others in the group. Try to make sure that everybody is included in the discussion. And, of course, consider non-legal impacts of the proposals (e.g. commercial, practical, branding, etc). [/QUOTE]
