If students are interested in legal work but do not want to become a barrister or solicitor, a major in business law could be just what students are looking for. Businesses work with laws every day, for example in proposals, tenders and contracts. Knowledge of business law can give students the ability to recognise potential issues and manage legal risk. Professionals in this field excel at negotiating and dealing with people, and may work as law clerks, settlement agents, compliance officers, contract managers or legal administrators.
