[QUOTE="Andrei Radu, post: 196605, member: 36777"] I think one of your main areas of focus should be commercial understanding, which should exist at a number of levels. First, to enable their clients to reach their objectives, lawyers need to know what those objectives are - and not just at a superficial level. To reach optimal results even when faced with roadblocks, they need to understand the deeper rationale for a client's particular request, for which they also need to understand the inner workings of the client's business. Secondly, to provide the best service lawyers will need not only to know a lot about their clients, but will also need to understand the industry they operate it. This way, not only can they better represent clients in particular matters in which competitors also have a stake in (of which there will be many) but also can aim to become true strategic advisors, who can look ahead for the client's best interest beyond the details of the matter they are currently working on.
