Dear Latham & Watkins Hiring Team,

As a innovative Senior Associate with 2 years of experience and I'd love to join your team, as seen on your Career page.

Here’s why I believe I'd be a perfect fit for the position:

First, I’ve always been intellectually curious about comprehending how thing work in the Law sector. As a Senior Associate at Baker McKenzie, I wanted to push myself and understand each specific of my day to day.

Before starting my career, I've obtained a Bachelor's Degree in Law at Harvard Law School. These academic skills were the foundations which helped me to become the go-to person to ask about providing comprehensive legal advice to our high-end client base.

Second, I have plenty of experience representing clients in court and coordinating legal pleadings, motions and discovery, arbitrations, mediations and settlement negotiations. At Baker McKenzie, I’ve managed delicate situations related to drawing up legal documents such as contracts and wills and been successful at meeting approaching deadlines where I had to think quickly on my feet. As the company scaled, I’ve taken increased responsabilities including mentoring and helping newcomers adapt to company culture.

Finally, I am excited about Latham & Watkins's vision and core values. As a detail-oriented and diligent Senior Associate, I recognize the importance of working in a company with a robust professional environment.

I am genuinely excited about the opportunity to contribute to Latham & Watkins, and I am ready to commit to the high standards and ambitions your team upholds. Thank you for considering my application.
