What Does a Law Firm Lawyer Do?

Summary: Learn what a law firm attorney does in this article.
 
Working at a firm is a common career path for lawyers. Even lawyers who intend to go solo do well to pay their dues at a firm, to imbibe the culture, to get all the shop talk working with other lawyers. Each firm has its own culture, made up of a structure of lawyers who reinforce and intensify the legal education you received in law school.

Most law firm lawyers are either litigators or transactional lawyers. Litigators do research, write legal briefs, and give advice and legal assistance to companies or individuals. They prosecute or defend litigation. Transactional lawyers work with money, drafting contracts for a business, any financial deals, real estate, and so forth.
Naturally enough, working in a firm means working well with others, being able to be part of a team, and letting the culture determine your place. A firm is a label, has a reputation, and you build a name for yourself not only based on the notoriety of the cases you take, but also on the prestige of your firm. Just as law schools produce students with a given characteristic, so do different firms produce different lawyers.
