All you need to know about being a lawyer…

There are hundreds of different types of law. At the simplest level, you can divide lawyers between those doing commercial work (i.e. work for companies) and those involved with individual people. You could be a banking lawyer scrutinising a major loan by a bank to a corporation, or a personal injury lawyer advising someone who was injured at work.  

In this episode, the legal eagle explains how day-to-day working life varies hugely from practice area to practice area – for instance, how an immigration lawyer’s job will differ from an intellectual property solicitor’s.
