[QUOTE="Dheepa, post: 50026, member: 1572"] Hi Lauren, I definitely think those are all things you can mention! However, as I said in my previous answer, you'd want to lead with the differences in work (since at the end of the day any firm is going to want to make sure you're actually interested in doing the job more than anything else). I actually disagree that CC and DLA have similar sectors and areas of expertise. Just off the top of my head, CC is great at banking work, PE work and generally have great rankings across all their transactional teams. Contrast this with DLA who have a particularly strong employment team (I'm thinking of the work they did with Uber a few years ago), entertainment and media team, and a lot more. I'd recommend really looking at the Legal 500 rankings for both firms and focusing on any differences you can pick up. The other huge difference is that DLA operate on a swiss verein structure which means they have a greater on the ground presence in more countries, think about how this will reflect a difference in both the clients and work you can expect to be involved in. I'm gonna link you to this fantastic thread that gives you more general points of research to go off of.
