Application Advice:
Research the firm thoroughly and the practice areas which make it stand out. This can be learning about clients, or understanding a few deals or big litigation matters that the firm has worked on recently.

Interview Advice:
Review your application (you clearly did something right to get an interview!) and then also keep up to date with current affairs, in case they ask you any commercial awareness questions.
Try to know a few important deals the firm has been working on, as well as maybe one or two of the larger litigation matters they have been involved with.
Most importantly, however, be confident and charismatic. The firm is very big on personality and they often look to candidates who possess these personality traits.

Don't be afraid to think outside the box. Be genuine. The interviewers want to see how you think and behave more so than what you actually say. Take your time when coming up with your answers and don't feel the need to respond right away. Write down some notes to help you reply. This shows preparation, patience and organizational thinking.
