Corporate Law

Corporate Law is traditionally the most lucrative area of law. Although there are other areas of law that rival this area, presently. During boom times, some of the most successful Law Firms were working in Banking and Finance, but this area has declined during the financial services recession. Corporate Law
firms are usually found in larger capital cities or economic centres. They are often large firms with modern, attractive offices. Frequently, corporate law firms are national or multinational firms. They often also offer similar areas of law; commercial litigation, commercial property or banking.

 

Many legal secretaries decide to work in Corporate Law firms and make a career in this
area. Why is it such a popular choice?

  • In London and other large cities, there are an abundance of corporate law firms; so many legal secretaries will find that there are more job opportunities in this area than elsewhere.
  • However, it is not just the abundance of jobs on the market that attracts Legal Secretaries; corporate legal jobs often offer higher salaries and better packages.
 
    • Corporate Law Firms often have impressive office buildings; some offer on site gyms and even swimming pools.
 
  • Career opportunities are often much greater at the large corporate law firms. There are many examples of Legal Secretaries getting the opportunity to work in other offices around the world, at multinational Law firms. They also have greater scope to further their career
    through training to become a paralegal or legal executive.
