I have an upcoming interview with HSF and I am worried my 'why HSF?' answer is not as strong as it could be. I plan to talk about my interest in their employment and patent litigation practice areas, also the complex multi-jurisdictional work and the connections I made while attending events on campus. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

On the surface this all looks reasonable if they are your genuine reasons.
I would just try to drill down and be more specific. Always ask yourself “why” when you make a statement, eg “I’m interested in employment and patent litigation” - the first question is “why”. You need to drill it down to a little more detail as to why you are stating these things.
