I think the way you should interpret this is a 'Why you?' question. Essentially, what you want to do is to discuss your experiences and achievements, the skills/attributes that these experiences demonstrate, and how these skills/attributes are relevant for the work of a trainee. You do not have to discuss any firm-specific motivations or motivations for commercial law in this section.
As such, the only danger of repetition comes from discussing the same experiences/achievements here as you did for the other two questions. To avoid that, I'd try to be tactical with the experiences/achievements I mention in each section. Firstly, I'd avoid discussing more than two or three experiences/achievements in any of them. Secondly, I'd chose for each section the experiences that bring most value to it. For instance, if you have an experience/achievement that could be mentioned both in the 'Why the firm' and in the 'Why you' answers, and you have many other experiences you could use in the 'Why you' section but few other experiences you can use in 'Why the firm' section, you should include it in the latter.
Finally, my specific advice in approaching this section is to write two or three paragraphs using the following structure:
- Start by describing your experience/achievement in detail, using a STAR structure. If possible, quantify any results or impacts.
- Explain why your experience/achievement and its result demonstrates Y skill you have.
- Explain how Y skill is relevant for a trainee's success.

I could not find any specific information about this on their website, but I remember that last year you could complete it after the deadline as well.
Similar - but not quite the same. won't have all the sections of WG - and more questions from certain sections of it.
Its like you have three answers to choose and you gotta pick two answers that you best believe answer the question - and then a 10 minutes games test.
If anyone here familiar with Pinsent Masons Vario? What are your thoughts on it? I have an interview for a paralegal role but not sure if I'll be interested.
Has anyone done the Simmons & Simmons blended assessment yet?
If so, is it timed? And are you able to tab out to prepare for the interview questions?

90th percentile in arguments and assumptions but I only got 50th percentile in conclusions lol. I think I have a decent chance to meet the benchmark.
They record u throughout the whole assessment. You have unlimited time to prepare for interview questions but your camera is constantly on. Basically the same as for A&O if you've done it.
Is it worth applying for Taylor wessing spring scheme if apps opened on Sep 1st and theyre rolling? Or am I better off applying for the Summer scheme instead?
bit of a silly question, but how do people decide which open days to apply for if they are eligible for multiple, e.g. graduate recruitment/ lgbtq+/ black heritage?
