There is nothing worse than an answer that sounds fake or disingenuous. Pretty much all firms are strong in multiple practice areas, sector areas, or have something interesting about them. i tend to focus on other areas of the firm, that I can clearly align to my background and interests. E.g being from a life science background, I've applied to a lot of firms that also are strong in that sector so I'll mention that. Even though finance is a top area for basically all my firms, I have no convincing experience or background to demonstrate it so I don't try to. I'll usually add in a range about wanting to experience a broad range of expertise not just in life sciences or whatever else, but also financial services and 'insert another strong area here'I also think it makes it a more unique answer. The fact is, even if finance or PE is their biggest area, they still need enough lawyers to qualify in every other team they have, they want you to have broad interests too. If you can say, yes, I'm interested in finance, but i also appreciate all these other aspects of your firm, I think it can work quite well</blockquote>
