[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 220832, member: 42112"] Hello! Good question - it's smart to mention a few different things in your answer to show you have a good understanding of the firm! Alongside their practice areas, you could talk about: [LIST] [*][B]Culture and Training:[/B] what attracts you about how the firm develops its trainees or its collaborative approach, and how you'd like to learn more about this or experience it first-hand on a placement [*][B]International or Client Exposure: [/B]if the firm's work gives you insight into global or commercial issues you're keen to understand, this could be a strong motivation for wanting to apply for the placement [*][B]Innovation or Values:[/B] perhaps their focus on ESG, tech, or inclusion resonates with you and you'd like to meet a wide range of people that work in these areas [*][B]Personal Fit: [/B]how the placement aligns with the skills or experiences that you want to build [/LIST] A great answer will link your goals with what's distinctive about their placement - it should show that you've done your research, and also discuss how your traits and skills mean that you would genuinely thrive there. I hope that assists - best of luck with your application! :) [/QUOTE]
