The cover letter format should be the same as you would approach a normal cover letter, so:

  • Brief introductory paragraph (one paragraph)
  • Why commercial law?
  • Why Milbank ?
  • Why me? (A summary of how your experiences/extra-curricular activities makes you a good candidate)

Bullet points 2-4 don't have to be in that order and some students merge their points in 3 and 4.


I can't speak to your reasons for applying to Milbank as they should be personal reasons. Ideally, if you have met the firm before, this is something you want to flag up here.


Our company is called, "The Corporate ___ Academy". What is the missing word here?
