I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts regarding this? My initial thought was to answer why it in two parts. Say why I want to be a solicitor, and why at Dechert? My only issue is, the first question was "why do clients instruct dechert?"..and I think thats already covered the why do I want to work at dechert part.

it doesn’t need to be in two part as such, you just need to ensure you answer both parts of the question.

there may be some similar themes, but I would also expect people to have very contrasting points to why they want to work for a certain firm and why a client may instruct a firm.
