Farrer & Co application help

[8080]

Hi all, I am a bit confused about Farrer's application. They require a 350 words cover letter in addition to 5 questions covering skills, why the firm, achievement, interests etc. I am not sure what else to put in the cover letter, does it matter if I repeat some of my experiences? Thank you!

Given what the app questions cover, it may be a good idea to use the cover letter to talk about what sparked your interest in commercial law and the firm, what areas you're looking forward to experiencing in your TC and what attributes you're most excited to demonstrate in your work as a trainee. Basically, use this space to cover everything related to your motivations that you can't/haven't talked about elsewhere.
