About the role
This interview tests your ability to advise on the employment relationship from drafting and policy through workplace disputes and exits. The panel wants legally sound, procedurally fair and commercially realistic advice, with careful handling of evidence and confidential information.
How to prepare
- Revise how contract terms, workplace policies and applicable labour rules interact in common employee disputes.
- Prepare an example of an investigation, disciplinary process, grievance, restructuring or negotiated exit you supported.
- Practise identifying factual gaps before advising on dismissal or another serious sanction.
- Review clauses on duties, pay, confidentiality, intellectual property, termination and post-employment restrictions.
- Be ready to explain how you keep sensitive workplace information appropriately restricted.
Common mistakes
- Assuming the contract label decides employment status without examining the real arrangement.
- Recommending an outcome before a fair investigation has tested the evidence.
- Ignoring the practical workplace effect of technically correct legal advice.
- Revealing identifiable details from a sensitive employee matter.
