I don’t think there is much difference, as both questions are asking you why you want to pursue a career in commercial law.. Interviewers will normally ask you this question to assess your knowledge about the particular firm as well as your commercial knowledge. This could involve your interest for business, and you can showcase your commercial acumen by demonstrating your knowledge about the deals Ropes & Gray has advised on and their clients. This could also show why you want to pursue commercial law with Ropes & Gray in particular. So, this means, what is it about Ropes & Gray that means you want to become a trainee and become a corporate lawyer. Is it the leaner teams or its market-leading private equity practice?
