Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dheepa" data-source="post: 49148" data-attributes="member: 1572">Hi Amy,I think the "international firm" addition is simply asking you to link your motivations for why commercial law back into the kind of work that firm does in particular. You could think of it as why commercial law + why international work but you would still need to have a balanced answer. The cross border work point would suffice and even then I don't think it's necessary to spend a good chunk of your answer on it. You don't want to make it seem like your only motivations for being a commercial lawyer is the international exposure so yes, you should definitely be including any of your other motivations.Just wanted to caution that reasons like variety of work can be very vague/generic (although I appreciate that you are probably simplifying your motivations in the post) so just make sure that you're really able to evidence why that aspect of the job is interesting to you. I'm also not entirely sure that "opportunity to build relationships/interest in the nuances of language" is specific enough to commercial lawyers as these things are very easily applicable to other roles in any line of work.Hope that gives you some ideas! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
