That question is mainly there to see whether you've engaged with the legal sector as a whole and taken steps to learn more about the profession, rather than to test that you've interacted with that firm specifically.You can absolutely talk about other firms' events or broader legal-sector experiences - for example, insight days, commercial law webinars, student law society panels, or even networking sessions where you heard from lawyers. What matters is that you show:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">You've actively sought opportunities to understand the world and culture of commercial law firms</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">You can reflect on what you learned and how it's influenced your motivation to apply to Hogan Lovells specifically</li> </ul>So for instance, you could say something like:"Through attending X firm's insight day, I developed a stronger understanding of how cross-border work operates in practice, which particularly attracted me to Hogan Lovells given its international client base."In short - they're testing your curiosity and initiative, not whether you have attended an event of theirs specifically. You'll be absolutely fine as long as you show genuine engagement and how what you learned has drawn you to Hogan Lovells.Best of luck with the application! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
