Corporate Law

Corporate law includes the law about companies and their formations, operations, mergers, and acquisitions. For example, when a big company looks to buy a smaller company, two companies want to join together, or an investor tries to put money into a startup, they’ll look to corporate law to know how to legally conduct the transaction.

People in corporate law carry out everything needed to complete these transactions, from legal research to reviewing the final deal. 

Entry-level corporate lawyers often conduct legal research and due diligence. Legal research means they research what laws apply to their clients and how those laws might affect the transaction. Due diligence means they look into the corporations at play, specifically things like debts, assets, employment contracts, and compensation agreements. 

More experienced corporate lawyers help draft deals and negotiate for the clients. The most senior lawyers, also known as partners, work directly with clients to advise them about transaction structures and laws.
