Corporate
Corporate law remains one of the sexiest areas in the legal world. If it is big international deals you want, this is the area for you. But it does not come without a price, during the past few years corporate assistants have been working longer and harder than ever before.

This is thanks to the rise in large, complex cross-border deals, normally done by the biggest firms. But even if you do not intend to stay at the bigger firms, doors will open to the assistants who can get some experience in these deals.
