Message: <blockquote data-quote="Abbie Whitlock" data-source="post: 249721" data-attributes="member: 42112">Hey!I am doing well, thank you - hope you are too!I would approach it by showing that your reasoning still holds, but that you understand the firm is evolving and merging. With Winston & Strawn, you can still talk about being drawn to a lean London office where trainees can gain meaningful responsibility and close partner contact. This doesn't necessarily disappear if the firm grows, and could even become more valuable within a larger firm.Therefore, rather than choosing between "small team" or "big global firm", I'd try to position it as a combination - this could perhaps look like the entrepreneurial feel of the London office alongside the international strength and client base that comes with a larger scale. This shows that you are thinking commercially about the future of the firm.However, if in doubt, I would say that it is best to reference the benefits of the firm as it is. It is difficult to predict how the firm might change once the merger takes place, and it is better to root your answer in facts than to speculate on the future.If the topic comes up elsewhere, you could discuss how expansion can deepen sector expertises, strengthen cross-border work and create additional professional development opportunities. The key is to show that you are aware of the consequences of the merger, and can see the growth as purposeful.Best of luck! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
