[QUOTE="Romiras, post: 31379, member: 1993"] There must be an underlying interest as to why you're applying to those firms - especially if they appear to be a diverse range. Just be honest and genuine. Otherwise, it's okay to omit some firms to fit your narrative. Regarding competition / competitors - I think that's a can of worms that doesn't need opening. It's difficult because certain firms work across certain firms, but it really depends on practice group. For example, CC may work across A&O for finance, a lot, but never really see them on the other side when doing PE or M&A work. I do not think you'll be asked this question. I also think that you will not be expected to have a in depth understanding of the legal market (because that's unreasonable). I think you should just focus on[B][I] your [/I][/B]motivations, be it personal or not, rather than the market's reason for why you might want to apply to a cluster of firms. [/QUOTE]
