While you may be tempted to say, “Because you are hiring” this is never the right answer, as honest as it might be. Interviewers ask this question in order to determine which, if any, of the job candidates has a particular interest in working for that law firm, as opposed to other firms. After all, an employee who really wants to work for you may work harder than one who is willing to work for anyone with a job opening. In order to answer the question, you will therefore need to know something about the firm or company for which you are interviewing. To gather this information, you can review the company’s website, talk to people who work, or have worked, there, and/or search the internet for press releases, news articles, and other information about the firm or company. Look for something about the firm or company that you like. For example, does the firm practice an area of the law that you are interested in learning about or in which you are already experienced? Does the company do charitable or pro bono work for a cause that you support? Is there an attorney at the firm whose record is so impressive you simply must work with him or her? Find at least one thing that you can honestly say you like about the firm and when you are asked why you want to work there, talk about it.
