There may be a variety of reasons why a hiring partner may ask this question. Typically though, they want to know that you have consciously decided to work for their firm and that you are not applying everywhere just to get a job. You do not have to specify which firms/companies you have applied to - unless you want to provide those specifics. But it is probably best to simply explain in general where you are focusing your job search efforts.

"I want to work in a mid-size law firm such as yours that has a personal injury law practice. In Cityville, there are only a few such firms. I also believe I could do well in a smaller law firm so I have been networking with attorneys who work at XYZ Firm and 123 & Associates. However, I am focusing my efforts on working at your firm because I greatly admire the work that Partner A has been doing in personal injury law. I am looking to develop my law career to be similar to theirs and would greatly appreciate the opportunity to work here with them."
