This would pretty much depend on the question being asked. If it’s simply asking you to write a cover letter then talking about your background is up to you.If you feel like your background will add value to your answer then mention it, if not, you should use the wordcount on something else.I do not know much about Fieldfisher. However if it’s truly an international firm, it will have clients from different areas of the world who will undoubtedly have different backgrounds. You can perhaps use this to leverage why & how your ‘Asian background’ will add value to this firm.Point to note: you don’t have to mention your background specifically, it’s better to let them infer it. This way, your answer will be more focused.
