[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 121065, member: 2672"] You have got a connection to the UK if you have lived here, even if it was for a relatively short period of time. You are not the typical international applicant who hasn't studied in the UK - you have. You don't necessarily need to cover "why London/the UK" in a "why this firm" question - it could also work well in the "why commercial law" answer instead, or be covered in an "extra information" question if the application form has one. One hint I give is to try and reference why the longer term career, rather than just the training contract, is appealing to you with that firm. Also try to focus on the work/clients in London rather than talking about the firm's work more broadly. Finally, you can reference what a career in London will give you that a career in your home country won't. [/QUOTE]
