[QUOTE="Red, post: 42070, member: 2968"] Hi guys! How do you go about justifying why you want a commercial law career in London specifically? I personally studied my law degree in London and loved living there, especially as someone with a diverse, mixed-race international background. While personal to me, I am conscious that it reads as being generic and applicable for a lot of candidates; additionally, I'm not sure if I should be focusing on the career prospects a city like London would provide? Again, my reasons for wanting a City career would be wanting exposure to a global financial hub and work from multiple jurisdictions- isn't this also quite common or generic? The most unique reasoning I can come up with is writing a dissertation centered around legal repercussions following the LIBOR scandal, and how I've researched extensively on how London as a financial market could change following the introduction of SONIA? Is that too off-topic or something worth exploring? Would appreciate any advice! [/QUOTE]
