Transactional Lawyer vs Litigation Lawyer - What Are The Differences?

While there are many different types of lawyers, most of them fall into two broad categories: transactional lawyers and litigation (or disputes) lawyers. In this week's video, we want to talk about some of the differences between the two, including the kind of work they do, the lifestyle, and common misconceptions about their jobs.

There are also lawyers who don't fall into either of these categories and whose work is more advisory in nature. However, as we worked as transactional and disputes lawyers ourselves and are sharing based on our own personal experiences, we haven't covered that type of lawyer in this video.

I love how well thought out and clear this comparison video is.

I tried both. You definitely have to be fit to be a litigation lawyer- running around from office to court carrying heavy files.

This is such a great breakdown! I personally find the pace of transactional work so much more intense, but it’s nice that the matters conclude in much shorter time frames. I also feel that there are many more opportunities to collaborate with other teams in transactional areas, which I really enjoy
