That being said, I would encourage you to think about whether other firms offer similar practice areas. If so, I would angle your answer more on how Debevoise approach that particular practice area. For example, do they focus on particular clients from certain industries, do they focus more on a particular legal service which they’ve built a reputation for. The first question is looking for specifics, so delve deeper. For example, I was interested in TS’s PE offering. Although many other firms also focused on PE - I had to think about what made them unique here, and I angled it around they ability to leverage funds in the bio clinical space, which at the time wasn’t something that many investors were open to due to the risks surrounding exit. As for your second question, I would say that this should be approached more generally, aligning your interests in practice areas with the practice areas themselves. For me, it doesn’t specifically need to be unique to Debevoise as it did in the first question, but I would treat it more to show your overall legal interests. It’s fine if you you’re not entirely fixated at this stage either, because the truth is there’s some beauty in not pigeonholing yourself to set practice areas before you’ve even had a chance to delve deeper in the industry. So, if that’s the case, make that known in any conclusion. Hope this helps <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
