[QUOTE="Disgruntled SQE Student, post: 234474, member: 39115"] Thought I'd pitch in. Lawyers can be more than legal experts, they are advisers who often have oversight into the operations of countries and can green or red light business and strategy calls. They are consulted by pretty much everyone in companies to make sure that what they're doing is above board. They frequently work with departments like risk management and marketing to give a second opinion on certain company decisions. Political and optics advice is often part of that. That being said, I'd just be careful how you answer this question. Many things, like investment advice, are regulated financial activities, and without the appropriate statutory exemption, lawyers can sometimes face risks when they are approached for advice outside of their expertise. Just be careful talking about how lawyers can be advisors as for things like investment advice, they are not all able to do it. [/QUOTE]
