Corporate attorneys, also known as transactional lawyers, advise clients in connection with a
transaction. They structure and negotiate business transactions, perform due diligence, draft
transactional documents, counsel clients, prepare and submit materials to governmental
bodies, perform legal research, supervise closings and draft a variety of legal documents
including contracts, resolutions, legal opinions and escrow trust agreements. Corporate lawyers
work on “deals” rather than “cases” and advocate in boardrooms rather than courtrooms.
