App question

Hi All, one of my TC app questions is as follows - which area of law or public policy would you like reformed and why? I wanted to answer this question with issues within family law (which I studied in my final year of my LLB). However the firm in question is very M&A and private equity heavy, would my answer to the above TC question be viewed negatively because it does not relate to corporate law?

Any thoughts on this or I am over thinking this yet again

I think you're all good :)Best to answer with something you know about in case they follow up at interview.

PS: that's a very hard application form question!
