[QUOTE="Andrei Radu, post: 183235, member: 36777"] This sounds fine to me - as long as you properly explain the reason behind your current more expansive interest in commercial law at large (which you seem to have done), I don't think there's any issue with mentioning that the origin of the interest was in a specific practice that a firm does not focus on. The only thing I would comment on your answer is that you want to emphasize how you attending that firm event led to the formation of a broad interest in commercial law, rather than just a new interest in banking alongside your previous interest in IP. I don't know much about WVS, but in general even firms which are focused on one practice area will expect you to do well and perhaps be willing to qualify in other seats. As such, you do not want to leave any room for an interpretation that you would not be happy to work in the firm's other practice areas as well. [/QUOTE]
