Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jessica Booker" data-source="post: 212533" data-attributes="member: 2672">You don't need to avoid it completely; just don’t let it be the main focus of your answers, especially regarding the level of detail you’re asking about.Trainees only specialise in the jurisdiction they are qualifying into, regardless of any relevant knowledge, regional ties, or language skills they may have outside of this jurisdiction. So focusing too much on Indian legal market may bring into question why you don't want to continue working in India.I think you can show a general enthusiasm for the possibility of the firm opening up in India and the opportunities that might bring for you as a trainee, but it sounds like those opportunities could have been there already given the article you shared says "Baker McKenzie is already considered one of the strongest international firms active in India and, in fact, more than 300 of our lawyers have and continue to work on India-related transactional and international arbitration matters". Maybe you lead with more with the fact of their existing expertise rather than the what might be? I just think you also need to be confident on how the London office is working on Indian matters, especially as their Indian Practice group is split across Hong Kong, the UAE, London and New York - <a href="https://www.bakermckenzie.com/en/newsroom/2024/06/global-india-practice-committee-three-new-members" target="_blank">https://www.bakermckenzie.com/en/newsroom/2024/06/global-india-practice-committee-three-new-members</a>.</blockquote>
