Test your commercial awareness with this case study practice assessment

Most applicants face their first case study at the assessment centre even though it is exactly where most Hong Kong offers are won or lost. Try our free practice exercise at home with zero pressure before diving into our full online centre featuring over 20 additional case studies.

Where commercial awareness meets practice

Firms use case studies because they need to see how you handle real business problems. Instead of just reciting the law, you are handed a stack of documents and asked to advise a client on their commercial risks. This exercise tests your commercial awareness by forcing you to extract key information, formulate a strategy, and defend your logic to a partner. Since the candidates who look composed have usually practiced this format before, walking in unprepared puts you at a massive disadvantage.
