It is good to caveat that you are open minded.

Transactional is quick paced and has peaks and troughs. Contentious work can be more drawn out but steady in working hours.

Transactional is arguably more process driven and less black letter law. It is arguable it is more 'commercial' as it is more heavy in negotiation instead of an outright win or lose situation. In disputes, you need to win for your client - it is not negotiation based but more black letter in law in terms of looking at the parameters of the law and building an evidence based case for your client - strength of argument being critical.

I hope this helps
