[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 249781, member: 42112"] Hey! I am well, thank you - hope you are too! :) I would be cautious about mentioning them in your answer unless you can link them back to the office you are applying to. If a team sits elsewhere but it still reflects the firm's overall strengths, then that might be a way of incorporating it into your answer (e.g. you might frame it around the firm's market reputation in that area or the type of clients it attracts). However, your answer should feel grounded in the London office. Firms ultimately want to know why you want to work at that specific office, so it is helpful to show awareness of what is actually there and how you'd fit into it. I wouldn't move this to the "additional information" section, as the "why this firm" question is exactly where you would expect to see this information (+ the additional information is better suited for elements that haven't come up elsewhere in the application). Best of luck with the application! :) [/QUOTE]
