[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 244068, member: 42112"] Hey! For this type of statement, the key is to show that you understand what that expertise looks like in practice. Good evidence would usually fall into one (or more) of the following: [LIST] [*]A recent deal or case the firm worked on: e.g. what they did, why it was complex and interesting, and why that appeals to you [*]A market position or client base: perhaps they work for clients that you are eager to work with (e.g. sponsors, FTSE companies, PE funds, etc.) [*]Something distinctive about the team itself: they might conduct lots of cross-border work, have a strength in a niche area, or a reputation for complex matters. As long as you can show why that interests you, this would be a good way to back up your point [*]First hand insight (often the strongest, if possible): this could be online programmes like Forage, academic modules, a talk or open day, or work experience. You can discuss what you enjoyed about the experience, and why you are now motivated to work in that area. [/LIST] The general formula that I tried to follow is: claim -> evidence -> personal link :) [/QUOTE]
