[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 219716, member: 42112"] Hey! I'd say it's definitely good to express an interest in a specific area of law (for example, one of my main motivations for the firm I am it is their shipping practice), especially if the firm you are applying for has strengths in that area. However, as you said, you want to avoid sounding too exclusionary of other areas and I would make sure that you are still presenting yourself as open-minded to trying other areas. As you have to complete multiple seats in a TC, it's important to show the graduate recruitment team that you are open to exploring other areas as well :) So, yes - definitely the right approach to take! :) [/QUOTE]
