[QUOTE="Keren, post: 50825, member: 6678"] Hi all, reviving this thread with the hope of gaining some clarity on the following (bit of a long one - apologies!). I am applying for a smaller regional firm and one of the questions is “why us”. Whilst it is easier to find key clients/cases etc to back up points on my applications for larger firms, this firm doesn’t have much published online apart from on their website/local news etc (I feel I have exhausted all resources). One of the points I want to talk about relates to the firm’s work with owner-managed and family owned businesses (for reasons I won’t bore you with). Aside from one case, the firm’s website and the confirmation of this on the Legal 500, I cannot find other cases/information about longstanding clients and case law to back up my point. I’m now wondering whether it would be a safer to talk about the firm’s expertise in PI as a reason to apply (PI, along with Dispute Resolution, are the area they are recognised for the most). I do, however, know that they offer trainees seats in the Commercial department. Would be grateful for an opinion on this, as I don’t want to make weak points. Thank you muchly :). [/QUOTE]
