Hi [USER=33968]@FutureTraineeMaybe[/USER] while I don't think this is in itself a big issue, since, as some other people have pointed out, the graduate recruitment team will know you may not have enough space to list all you firm motivations in the 'Why Goodwin' section. However, I think it is not ideal to have your main reason only center around a specialist practice area like IP. From a recruiter's perspective, they need to know your motivations will align with the firm even if you do not get to do/qualify in a particular smaller team in the firm. As such, I would supplement the IP-based reason with one based on sector expertise/another practice area. While you may have to sacrifice on depth of analysis a bit, given the stringency of the wordcount I think that is entirely to be expected.
