What is a commercial attorney?

Commercial attorneys advise government agencies and companies on matters related to business law and transactions. Most commercial attorneys typically work at a law firm assisting one or more clients. Your job duties include drawing up contracts, risk-management policies, and other legal paperwork like that of a company merger. You may also represent clients in court or partake in negotiations on their behalf. Qualifications for this career include experience in the commercial sector and a law degree. You must pass the bar exam for licensure and have strong researching, writing, and editing skills.
