This will demonstrate to the graduate recruitment team that you have researched the legal market in depth and are able to identify Latham's rivals, and that you are also capable of drawing fine comparisons and you know what makes Latham unique even when compared to the firms that are most similar to it. For instance, if you were discussing Latham's strength in private equity as a reason for joining the firm, you could explain how Latham's PE practice is appealing to you because (1) it is larger, more established, and more dominant than the practices of PE-focused US firms with smaller London offices (such as Sidley, Ropes & Gray, and Willkie); (2) offering a broader and more full service offering, as compared to the other giants in the PE world (such as Kirkland and Simpson Thacher); and (3) is exceptionally strong on both sides of the Atlantic, as opposed to the PE practices of its Magic Circle rivals.</blockquote>
