Hi,

Can one of your 2 reasons for wanting to join a firm be its adoption of legal tech and general innovation initiatives. My first reason is a highly ranked practice area.

Thanks

Hello!

Yes, that's a great reason to include! Highlighting a firm's commitment to legal tech and innovation shows you value progress and efficiency - qualities that many firms prioritise. Just be sure to link it back to why it matters to you - for instance, how technology enhances client service or how it aligns with your interest in modernising legal work.

Combined with your first reason (a strong practice area), it makes for a well-balanced and authentic answer. Best of luck with your application! :)
