Not usually, but some do provide a preference practice area, however, the common ones are disputes and corporate. Whether the preference is actually considered is totally subjective to the entire recruitment process, whether they are expanding teams and the candidate pool.

Most of these firms rely on PPOs and internship-based recruitment as the teams are comparatively not as big as the Gen Corp or disputes team, and even with high attrition, the demand isn't enough to make that additional effort of recruitment.
