This year, DAC Beachcroft has only one question in its application form which asks the candidates to tell in no more than 500 words why they they are applying to this firm.

Can anyone advise what would be the best way to structure the answer? Although I am always relieved to see short applications, this is probably too short to my liking. I guess that my answer should strictly focus on my motivations to apply to DAC Beachcroft together with the links to my up-to-date experience, but feedback/insight/advice would be much appreciated!

There's no one way to tackle this answer but your approach sounds great and is probably what I'd do i.e. pick a few specific reasons and really develop why that interests me (tying it back to my experiences where relevant).
