Hi guys,

I am currently answering the holy grail question and I want your opinion.

I attended the firm's open day, and one of the partners spoke about the firm's international vocation especially when it comes corporate work as the NY and London offices are fully integrated. Since I only have 200 words, I was thinking to integrate in my answer my work on international cases and my recent interest in corporate work after completing 2 courses.

Do you think is a good strategy? What would you do?

sounds fine - just don’t focus too much on NY, you are applying to a U.K. training contract
 
There's going to be nothing wrong with your answer, as long as it's genuine to you and you can link it to something tangible. When you speak about the international element, be sure to relate it back to why that personally is important to you as an applicant.
