This kind of question is about the employer discovering if you did some research about the firm as well as getting an idea of your long term commitment to this company. So make sure your answer addresses both of these important points.

Example: My ultimate goal is to be with a firm in which I can have a long and rewarding career, one where I can continue to make an impact and provide valuable contributions through the years. I noticed on your web site that you have added several new locations, one in New York City and one in London. That is very exciting and it’s clear that you are growing and expanding. A secure firm like yours is exactly the environment I seek to commit long term.
