For me, the answer has always had to do with the opportunity this provides to interact with and learn about many diverse legal systems around the world. To advise on a cross-border deal/dispute, you will need to understand what all the elements of the matter that are connected to other jurisdictions impact the client, and how they can come together and can be addressed under a cohesive strategy. This can also be a reason for 'Why London' - as a global financial hub which houses the legal system which is the status quo choice of law in international commerce, lawyers in the London office of a firm will perform the role of bringing input from everywhere together and coordinating work in other jurisdictions. This can itself be attractive to you because you will get to learn to navigate the quirks of different systems around the world, problem-solve around conflicts between the rules of various legal systems and markets, and learn about the businesses, economies, and even politics about countries all around the world. This provides the opportunity for a constant stream of complex and highly varied work, which I think many people can have a natural interest in.</blockquote>
