I liked that the program was practical and focused on realistic interview preparation. It helped me understand commercial awareness, analyse a business transaction, connect market developments to legal work, and structure competency-based answers using the STAR technique. I also found the focus on communication, motivation, and reflection useful for building interview confidence.

I really liked the simulation because it gave me an opportunity to experience the type of situations I could face in a commercial law environment. I particularly enjoyed working through realistic business and legal scenarios, as it helped me understand how legal knowledge connects with commercial decision-making.

I enjoyed the opportunity to learn more about Ashurst and understand the type of work and skills expected from candidates. I particularly liked the commercial awareness and interview tasks, as they allowed me to practise analysing a business scenario and structuring my answers clearly. The simulation was practical, engaging and helped me feel more confident about the recruitment process.
