[QUOTE="Daniel Boden, post: 47245, member: 487"] Yeah just to add to what [USER=5063]@Jacob Miller[/USER] has said above, I'd be very surprised if you were to be asked this unless you had prior consultancy experience. A fairly common question is why law and not investment banking where the differences are a bit more obvious. To be honest I think if I was asked this I would use the actual study and knowledge of the law and how I enjoy using the law to help solve problems for clients as the key differentiator which obviously as a management consultant you wouldn't be doing. Equally the fact that it is pretty common for management consultants to lean on lawyers for advice to vet certain decisions/deals that are made and so you could argue that, as a lawyer, it is possible to potentially work in a similar way to a management consultant from an advisory perspective as you get more senior and develop closer relationships with your clients i.e. you become a close business advisor as well as a legal advisor.
