That said, it's totally fine to reference a deal from the London office, particularly if it closely aligns with your experience and interest in venture capital work.Just make sure that the Cambridge office is involved in similar VC / start-up work (which it often is, and it seems like you believe it is!). You could potentially frame it as: you're drawn to Taylor Wessing's venture capital practice, which is a team that works cross offices, and that the London deal exemplifies the kind of work that excites you and that you'd be keen to get involved with from the Cambridge office.By acknowledging this, you're showing both awareness of the office you're applying for whilst also demonstrating a genuine interest in the firm's broader VC offering.I hope that helps, and 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>
