I'm sorry that you haven't received any responses so far.

I assume by practice areas, you're referring to Vinson's legal departments (M&A, project finance, energy transactions). I also assume that by sector areas, you mean something more general (so energy, infrastructure, mining). The two seem interchangeable to me, but I'd be inclined to go with practice areas.

I'm inclined to discuss only particular practice areas, e.g. project finance because by default it includes the banking sector area.

I was asked a similar question by L&W where I discussed only the practice area and was processed onto the next stage. Don't overcomplicate it
