[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 212530, member: 2672"] Unfortunately, I don't think you can say they are expanding into India until they announce it (like CMS recently have). It may be their intention, but the first article was stated before the regulations were relaxed earlier this year, and there are still quite a few restrictions which mean that some firms may still not enter the Indian market. Many firms are still exploring how they could do this rather than making a hard commitment to doing so. I would personally focus more on what your opportunity is in London rather than trying to focus on motivations or uniqueness on the Indian legal market. Your role is in London and although you will have the opportunity to work on cross-jurisdictional matters, you won't specialise in Indian matters as a trainee. My concern would be that it could question your motivations to commiting to a career in London. I think you can reference the possibility of expanding into India as being something that makes the firm even more appealing to you, but I wouldn't advise making this a core aspect of your motivational or "why me" answers.
