Case Study Preparation
Learn the framework. Work through realistic case studies. Get detailed feedback.
Case studies can feel difficult because there’s rarely one obvious “right” answer. What firms are really testing is how you identify the important issues, prioritise information, structure your thinking and communicate a recommendation under pressure.
This 90 minute session is designed to make that process much more manageable.
What we’ll cover
🧠 A clear approach to case studies We’ll show you how to break down unfamiliar scenarios, identify the key commercial and legal issues and build a structured response.
📄 A realistic written exercise You’ll work through a real-world style case study during the session rather than just talking about theory.
🎯 Detailed feedback on your analysis We’ll look at how you prioritise information, structure your reasoning and turn analysis into a clear recommendation.
💬 Follow-up questioning and challenge Where relevant, we can simulate the partner-style discussion that often follows a case study — including questions that test your assumptions and ask you to defend your conclusions.
📚 Additional materials to take away You’ll receive further case studies and written exercises to work through independently after the session.
