Coach
You're right to approach it this way. I would just say (if true) that you're interested in a new challenge and chance to use your skills in a different way. You could also say something about how much you've valued getting to work with and know the client (to the extent you have), how their culture and mission resonate, and how your familiarity with the organization will allow you to hit the ground running.
If the client is a major institution and the job is GC and you are actually someone they would consider, then you are a partner at your firm and already know these people well. You are not in the running at all if you are not a partner and “want to leave.” If the role is something other than what you said, then my views might be different.
