Written Exercise (M&A – Due Diligence)

Description

Many assessment centres at the leading law firms involve a written exercise. You must write an email, a memo, or a letter to a client. You have a short time frame to analyse the issues and provide a clear, structured response.

But how do you structure the written exercise? Should you include headings? How do you know whether you are adding in enough detail, while presenting the information clearly?

The purpose of our law firm written exercise is exactly this. Based on real law firm written exercises, you will practise how to structure a written answer, analyse legal issues, and deliver advice under a strict time frame. You will receive actionable feedback on exactly what to work on, so you know how to excel in the real thing.

Written Exercise (M&A – DD)

Our second exercise is focussed on identifying issues in a proposed M&A deal. You will receive a template model due diligence report and a detailed marked-up copy of your answers.
