How to become a transactional attorney?

Career: Transactional Attorney

To become a transactional attorney, you need to have many of the same qualifications that you need to become a litigator. This means having a bachelor's degree and attending law school. During law school, you should look for summer internships or job opportunities with corporate law firms that deal mainly with business negotiation, regulatory compliance, and entrepreneurial and contract law. Many corporate law firms hire law students who have worked with them during the summer. In addition to your law degree, you need to pass the bar exam. Excellent research and interpersonal communication skills are essential to your success in this field.
