Otherwise, what you could do is point to other specific points about a firm (e.g. small trainee intake, the ability for trainees to pitch ideas to the firm, reverse-mentoring etc.). These points may influence a firm's culture, but at least we have something more specific to rely on.I don't really like referencing values either, unless you have something more concrete to back this up. D&I is not far fetched at all; if the firm's efforts in diversity is a genuine reason you are applying to a firm, and you can explain why that's personally important to you, I think it can be very compelling.The points you referenced about a firm's training programme sound fine to me. It's fine if some of your points will also apply to some other firms; underlying all of this, we just want to show that you've clearly thought about your reasoning, and that's more likely to be the case if it doesn't apply to most other law firms out there. It's also good you're bringing in your experience of working in small teams. Just try to then be very clear about why this is something that's particularly important to you. If the last point is a genuine reason you are applying and you can back this up with your personal experiences, that sounds great to me.</blockquote>
