[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 1871, member: 1"] No need to apologise, it's what I'm here for! It should be enough to discuss how Weil is at the top of the market and then explain your interest in PE. I know I've talked about making a strong link in the past, but in this case, by giving specific reasons for your interest in PE, you are by definition, demonstrating an interest in the kind of work Weil does (because Weil and PE are so tied). If you do want to make a link at the end of your point, you certainly still can, but you would need something specific. So, if you like PE, why might you want to work at a firm that is positioned at the top of the market? Well, perhaps you want to work on the biggest (and sometimes, most complex) PE transactions -- the kind of transactions that headline the FT, span multiple jurisdictions and help to shape a segment of the market? Or, perhaps, you think working with some of the brightest minds in PE -- both on the legal and the client side -- will accelerate your learning? [/QUOTE]
