[QUOTE="TCLA Community Assistant, post: 192355, member: 2672"] The work you are highlighting will be considered “commercial” law - applying contracts to business operations, while I would consider transactional work to be more the movement of assets between organisations. Commercial work often falls within Corporate teams, but I wouldn’t say it is the core of what the firm means “transactional” work. It is not to say you can’t reference the broader elements of your previous experience that may be similar though, whether it is things like document review/contract drafting, or having to consider the business needs/objectives when applying legal advice to a client. I don’t think you need to compare transactional work to litigation/advisory work, you can just focus on what it is about the work that transactional lawyers do or the ways in which they work that particularly appeal to you. There maybe somethings that equally apply to advisory or litigation work and it’s not an issue to highlight these alongside elements that may only apply to transactional teams. [/QUOTE]
