What Are the Most Common Law Careers-Chispa MagazineAre you thinking about a career in law? Well, first of all, you need to know what different career paths there are to choose from. Below we discuss some of the most common law careers that you might want to consider.

Personal Injury Lawyers
Personal injury claims are rising all the time, so this is one of the most important jobs in the world of law. When people get injured, and the fault lies with someone else, such as their employer, it’s possible for them to claim compensation through the courts. This is where personal injury lawyers enter the picture. They help to determine whether the individual has a chance of winning their claim when it goes to court.

Barrister’s Clerks
In a barrister’s chamber, it’s the responsibility of the clerks to look after the business and administrative affairs. This is an important job, and it’s not simply about organising schedules and filing documents; there’s a lot more to it than that. They have to know the legal process inside out to be able to do their job effectively. Strong interpersonal skills are also a must because clerks have to communicate with lots of different people on behalf of the barristers they work for.

Licensed Conveyancers
Licensed conveyancers are people who specialize in property law. They work on the behalf of people who are looking to sell their property or buy a new home. There are lots of legal issues that need to be dealt with when buying a new home, and these issues are always best dealt with by a specialist. They draw up the contracts and documents that need to be signed by all parties when a home is transferred from the ownership of one person to another. Without them, buying a home would be even more stressful.

Criminal Defense Attorneys
In a fair legal system, everybody is entitled to a criminal defense lawyer, no matter what they’ve done or have been accused of. Without these people, the legal system would not function, and it certainly wouldn’t be fair or just. Their job is often difficult because they have to be loyal to their clients and also do the right thing. It’s about weighing up the evidence and defending them in the best way they possibly can. This type of attorney is probably what most of us instantly think about when we imagine a career in law.

Corporate Lawyers
Businesses have to follow laws the same way individuals do, so that’s why corporate lawyers are always in such demand. Businesses have to think about the law when they hire people, when they fire people and when they do a deal with another company. Failing to follow all the relevant laws can lead to big losses of the company gets sued by an individual or another business. Corporate law might often be pretty dull, and not as exciting as criminal law, but it’s still a steady career choice.
