But if the questions haven't been released yet, I would always try to collate enough information to answer "why this firm", "why law" and "why me", as those form the bedrock for 90% of the application questions I've encountered. Ideally you would already know how to answer "why law" and "why me" from your CV and previous experiences. As to "why this firm", I would try to find out:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Main practice areas</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Training contract structure and chances for secondment(s)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Values and/or key competencies</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Any recent news stories about the firm (check their recent deals and/or awards)</li> </ul>I'd also try to keep up to date with the news as often firms ask you to talk about a current news story that might affect the firm or something similar. Its good to follow news stories that you are genuinely interested in, even if they might be quite 'niche' (I, for example, followed and talked about news stories relating to global waste management and recycling). But you should also be aware of more 'macro' stories like Brexit and the US-China trade war.Hope that helps!</blockquote>
