It appears the question is a hybrid between ‘why the firm’ and ‘why you’. In answering the ‘why you’ arm, there are multiple things you could cover, as you could touch on any skills or experiences that are in line with that of a trainee, and which would ultimately help you contribute to the firm’s success long term. For example, have you worked with a business? What skills did you develop? Any challenges along the way? How did you overcome them? Have you worked to build your commercial awareness? How would you use this to contribute to the firm’s long term growth strategy? Have you had a look at this strategy on their publications? Could you link the two together? Thus, you could use an example of an experience you successfully went through and showcase how you could use comparable methods to contribute to Covington’s growth. Although often overlooked, another way you could contribute to the firm’s success is by showing in the application that you understand what it takes to be a commercial lawyer. This is where correlating between different skills and experiences come into play again. However, if ’why commercial law’ is a question on its own, then don‘t dwell on it here.</p></blockquote><p></p>
