[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 418, member: 1"] Yes, I think it's fair to say that their growth strategy is one of the reasons behind Shearman & Sterling's competitive advantage. Both are good justifications and ultimately, that's more important as it's a subjective question. And sure you can tie the responses in that way. The good thing about these types of questions - Ashurst/Kirkland used to do something similar - is that you can leave all the descriptive points that show your knowledge of the firm here, and then focus on more personal responses in the second question. That's useful for students who may mix up the two and end up describing a firm in their answer rather than focusing on why a firm appeals to them (I used to be guilty of this). As you said, the answers to the second question can be things like your interest in PDF or based on people you've met at the firm or why you like the smaller intake size etc. [/QUOTE]
