[QUOTE="Amgrad, post: 223301, member: 42426"] Thank you Andrei for giving a thorough answer! I knew for P,W it was due to a relatively new presence in the UK, but for Morrison Foerster it's just strange as they've been in London since the iron lady aka Margaret Thatcher economic reform in 1980s along with majority of US firms. Well, I've not worked in financial services industries only, but as intern in VC, UN, and Consulting firms, I've dealt with clients from different sector industries. So, it doesn't matter if firms like W&C don't excel in PE, but did great on other areas which excited me. However, what if on the essay I said similar like "I do believe through my extensive experiences and motivation, I could contribute to the improvement of firm X in [practice areas] for not just showing prestige to clients, but also integrity and excellence" Do you think that's a day dreaming? 🤣 I know it might be shallow to write like that as a trainee, except if I commit long term to become a partner by joining the firm for 10 years or more.
