Introduction

The practice of corporate law is extremely diverse, involving intellectual, technical legal, business, judgmental, practical, relationship and personal skills. The ability to combine skills in all these areas will contribute significantly to the success of the corporate lawyer and the personal rewards and satisfaction which the corporate lawyer will derive from the practice of corporate law. To provide an overview of factors which are relevant to the successful practice of corporate law, there is discussed briefly below the role of a corporate lawyer, the corporate lawyer-client relationship, understanding the needs and objectives of a client, the success of the corporate lawyer, current trends and key issues, and some observations regarding personal issues involved in corporate law practice. The discussion is intended only as a succinct overview of subjects, which are diverse and complex, but will serve as an introduction and provide a basis for further consideration and analysis by the reader.
