The length is important as is dictates where your focus should be. Given the above, I would suggest the following: 1. Brief introduction to you, your current role/graduate status, and what you're applying for. 2. Explain your motivation for commercial law in around 5 sentences, and link to an experience or situation that confirmed this. 3. Explain your reasons for the firm in particular (2-3 points) across one big paragraph or two 5 sentence paragraphs, and again, link this to your experiences/skills 4. Focus on what it is about you that would make you a good Trainee/Solicitor, leverage experience, academics, extra-curriculars where you can. Although each cover letter is unique, I find that strong ones somehow have a way of linking back to themselves throughout, and utilise the chance to sell themselves.. Try doing that here through your links to experiences.</blockquote>
