That’s a really good question, and I can see why that might be unclear.I’d recommend focusing on why that practice area interests you personally, but also incorporating why you’re excited to explore it specifically at Akin. Think of it as a mix of both: start by explaining how your interest in the area developed (e.g. open days, academic exposure, vacation schemes), then link at the end why Akin’s strengths in that area make it the ideal place to pursue it.Since you’ve already mentioned their Funds team in your other question, you don’t need to repeat too much, but this is a great chance to go into more detail - maybe discuss a particular deal or client type that aligns with your career goals.To summarise:<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Explain your personal interest in the area</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Connect it to your experience</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Tie it back to Akin - why you’re excited to develop that interest there</li> </ol>I hope that helps - best of luck with your application! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
