[QUOTE="Naomi U, post: 47201, member: 4043"] Hi [USER=1107]@Lauren[/USER] I think you're already on the right lines! It doesn't have to be a particularly lengthy answer as I think the goal here is for the interviewer to gain a better understanding of your motivations. If you have mentioned that the reason you are applying to X firm is that you want to have an international career and are thus drawn to the firm's global nature, then it wouldn't be advisable to mention firms that are on the other end of the spectrum with one office. I think this undermines your why this firm answer as it suggests that your motivations may not necessarily be true. Using your example, I don't see anything wrong with saying, "I also applied to X and Y because of my strong interest in dispute resolution as both X and Y along with Z ( the firm you are interviewing with) have played significant roles in a number of leading and award winning cases.
