    Bit of a vague question here, but one I’m asking to develop my understanding! As the title sums up; what are the main differences between the work a business consultant does and commercial solicitor?

    If I were to explain it, I’d say that a consultant creates a solution for a business to grow/achieve their specific goal but it is the lawyers that make it a reality. That’s a very basic summary though and one I want to understand a bit more.

    Be interested to hear your thoughts!

    The lawyer is just dealing with the law to make it a reality - there will be an awful lot needed for it to happen that a lawyer wouldn’t be involved in at all.
