You have to tread carefully here. It needs to be more nuanced than cross-border transactions/an international firm. Why that particular firm and why in that particular location?Would it be appropriate for me to talk about how I am currently working on qualifying as a solicitor in another country to demonstrate my interest in working on cross-border transactions/ why an international firm?
Your reader is going to be thinking:
1) Why do they want to start their career all over again when they could just continue as a qualified lawyer where they are?
2) Why will they commit to a career in the UK? Is there a risk they just want to gain some experience/qualify in England & Wales just to progress their career in their home country?
