[QUOTE="Jessica Pearson, post: 225436, member: 33478"] Hiya, I think it depends on how you go about it. For example, when I wrote my RS app, I talked about my interest in their disputes team. But I also included that I am particularly drawn to this practice area because it allows me access to various sectors. I also found it's best to show your interest in what their USP is. So beyond access to various sectors, I wrote about their shipping practice within the disputes team (this was also the sector I talked about in the third question). Also, try to find a balance between the practice area strength and other things. For example, I did abt 100 word on the work, ~70 words on the training programme, and ~50 words on DEI. This shows that that you have thought about what the firm can offer you as a whole and how they can help you thrive. On a side note, I had attended on RS event where I think grad rec mentioned that their Life Science practice isn't running in London (it's more prominent in their US offices), so talking about that when you may not have the chance to sit in that area may not be the best This is just my two cents based on how I've approached writing my app. [/QUOTE]
