    Hey everyone!

    As the title suggests, I’m interested to hear what motivates you to become a commercial lawyer?

    In my view, finding your reasons why you want to become a commercial lawyer is one of the hardest parts of the application as you have to combine your experiences with your understanding of what a commercial lawyer does.

    I hope by starting this thread, and people sharing their own motivations, others may be able to paint a better picture of what motivates them!
