[QUOTE="JP13, post: 167371, member: 33670"] I didnt have direct questions on this but I would always bring them up to back up points. I first thought whats the biggest problems facing the economy and whats everyone speaking / doing about it. For me that was interest rates. I looked at ways firms are mitigating this risk and I found Uber using convertable bonds to raise capital and lock in a really low interest rate. I used this to back up my points in a interview about why I would recommend using convertable bonds instead of just 'normal' bonds. I also think another point of commercial awareness is being aware of the firm you are applying to, many firms have news on their website so scroll through that and pick out someting that actually interests you. For me it was a luxury fashion client. Try not to pick a new client, pick one that has a history with the firm. The client i picked to have a deep dive into used almost every practice area (e.g. They IPO'd with them, they used their litigation department and then they were sold of to another company, they stuck with them for the clients life cycle) and used a huge chunk of the firms offices around the world (which I then used to ask a question in the interview). This just means that the interviewers or person reading your applicaiton has a higher chance of knowing the client, and you can show interest over everything. I would then click any links in the news on the firms page (as a lot of the time the firm doesnt go into detail). What I found out was that when you click these links to the client site it goes into a lot more detail about the structe etc. I found out that the client I chose was using a really complex structure of derivatives and bridge loans and spoke about this as a way to finance a acquision in the case study.
