Hi [USER=37439]@sjr22[/USER] :)



Again, I think [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] hit the nail on this. Just wanted to elaborate slightly on this, don't worry too much about repetition. It’s natural for your interest in technology-focused firms to come up again here, especially since it’s such an important part of Goodwin's work and also your motivations for applying to them. In fact, this question is a great opportunity to say a bit more here as to why technology specialism matters to you within a law firm context.


When I applied to Goodwin, I mentioned my interest in firms with a focus on life sciences and healthcare, mid-market to high-value matters, and a smaller trainee intake. I also specified that I was applying to both Cooley and Ropes & Gray, as they aligned well with my interests. You might consider naming 2-3 firms that fit your own criteria and briefly explaining why their work or approach resonates with you. This can help Goodwin see that your choices are intentional and well-aligned with what you’re looking for in a legal career. It also shows that you've taken a very considered approach to your applications.


Hope that helps! Best of luck with your application!
