Occupational profile

The fields in which commercial lawyers become active are determined by legal and commercial contents.

These tasks are primarily business or entrepreneurial tasks, but require both legal expertise and legal skills and thus take place at the interface between business and law, involving the reconciliation of business practices with abstract legal standards.

This includes checking the application of existing legislation to business activities or examining planned business activities with regard to their legal ramifications or their compliance with current law.

Occupational fields for commercial lawyers are, for example:

• Banking and insurance
• Auditing and consultancies
• Law firms
• Tax consultancies
• Financial service providers
• Human Resources
• Distribution
• Start-up management
• Company restructuring
• Insolvency administration
• Mergers & Acquisitions
• Public service, e. g. supervision of banks and financial service
