Careers in Business and Commercial Law Business and Commercial Law Business and commercial law are the staples of most general practitioners. Business attorneys frequently become specialists in a particular phase of practice, such as securities, bankruptcy, sales, banking, or insurance law. Some attorneys concentrate on the legal work involved for various business transactions while others engage primarily in business litigation. Settings for a career focused on business and commercial law are quite varied.
Some lawyers maintain a solo or small firm practice with almost exclusively business clients.
More often, however, private practice is within medium-size or large firms which can provide a broad range of legal services. Business lawyers may also have careers as in-house counsel for corporations. Other lawyers staff business-related positions with local, state, or the federal government.
