[QUOTE="Ram Sabaratnam, post: 183192, member: 36738"] Hiya [USER=16294]@legally.brown[/USER] :) You'll want to focus on sufficiently discussing both parts of the question: (1) why you want to pursue a legal career at a City law firm, along with (2) why you're interested in the particular firm. When talking about why you want to work at a City law, ensure you get to the heart of the question - what is distinctive about a legal career at City firm? Here, you might want to think about London's place as a financial centre, and how working in the City (in close proximity to financial institutions) could lead to an exciting and fast-paced environment. You could also potentially discuss how London is an international centre - this can make it an exciting place to collaborate with multinational, international colleagues and clients. You are working in a culturally diverse place and may have access to more multi-jurisdictional deals when working in the City. For why you want to join the firm, try to highlight what makes this particular firm stand out compared to others in the City. It could be a particular practice area they’re known for, their focus on a specific sector, or even the types of clients they work with. Mentioning something specific shows you’ve done your research and have a clear reason for wanting to join that firm over others. Try to avoid generic statements as far as possible, and focus on the aspects of the firm and your career that matter most to you. It can feel like a lot of information to get through for one question. To manage word count, I'd recommend being concise with your points and making sure each sentence is purposeful. Good luck with the application! [/QUOTE]
