[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 251134, member: 42112"] Hi! A structure that I always used to follow was to focus on three clear reasons for why you're interested in the firm, as this is usually enough to show depth without your answer becoming too long or unfocused. For example, your points could cover areas such as: [LIST] [*]The firm's practice areas or specific deals / work that interest you [*]The culture or training style [*]Pro bono opportunities [*]International opportunities [*]Something else distinctive about the firm (e.g. strategy, international presence, sector focus, etc.) [/LIST] The key element is to go a little deeper than just naming the areas that interest you. You should always briefly explain why each point appeals to you and, where possible, link it back to your past experiences, interests, or future career goals. Even just adding a short sentence or two at the end can make your answer feel so much more genuine. In terms of detail, the interviewers won't be expecting (or necessarily wanting!) a long speech. A clear and structured answer that discussing two or three well-explained reasons should be more than enough - the quality and specificity of your points will matter more than the number of them. Best of luck with the AC!! :) [/QUOTE]
