That makes more sense now. Perhaps also talk about what in particular about multi-jurisdictional work interests you. Does that make sense? Because you are not going to be learning about new cultures all the time, perhaps during an international secondment but not in your day to day work. For example, tomorrow you may have to deal with a transaction that involves multi-jurisdictions and you have a few days to solve the problems. So perhaps you could discuss how you like the challenging and complex nature of multi-jurisdictional work. Be a bit more specific as the learning about new cultures seems a bit generic tbh.

Employment litigation could be a good one if you make it specific about the firm. However I would advise against the pro bono one. Law firms are there to make money and many lawyers in reality do very little pro bono work. I would focus on the more commercial side/ personal development rather than talking about pro bono reasons. I know HSF really encourage their trainees to go on international secondment more than most firms so you could perhaps talk about that and link that with the multi-jurisdictional nature of the work the firm carries out.

Hope that's helped a bit. My three reasons were: Diversity & Inclusion, Multi-jurisdictional work and international secondment opportunities, and the strong litigation practise. I explained why HSF is known for them and then related them back to me in relation to why I cared and why these were important considerations/reasons for me choosing a firm.
