Why did you begin practicing in your area of law?

I began practicing in the area of corporate and transactional law because I like that, most of the time, everyone is working towards a common goal, whether that is getting a deal across the finish line or finding a solution to a company’s problem. This area of law often involves strategic thinking, problem-solving, and coming up with creative solutions that work for all parties involved, and I find that really rewarding.
