This could cover things like enjoying problem-solving, being interested in how businesses operate, or liking complex transactions. This question does not need to have firm-specific detail."Why commercial law at X firm?" shifts the focus of your answer to the firm specifically (i.e. its work, clients, culture, training style, international reach, etc.) and how those things match what you are looking for in your training and career. You can reference your motivations and connect them to what the firm offers, but the bulk of your answer should show that you have researched the firm and understand what makes it distinct - and why that makes it the right fit for you. Essentially: "Given my motivations and interests, this is the firm that fits"A simple way to break it down could be:1. First Question: why this career suits you2. Second Question: why this firm is the right place for you to do itThe two answers should link, but they should focus on different parts <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />I hope that assists!</blockquote>
