I am about to commence my training contract and my firm allows plenty of scope for choosing training seats. I am interested to hear views – controversial, jovial or otherwise – on any of the following practice areas: corporate & commercial (and the key differences between the two); tax; employment; private client; construction (rather than standard real estate or property); energy, transport and infrastructure; competition; and shipping.
Which are the most (or least) interesting? Which has the best (and worst) career prospects? Which is best for client contact and keeping a social life?
