Areas of Law You Can Specialise in

Arbitration

Arbitration is a technique of resolving civil and commercial disputes outside of court. The parties present their case to a single arbitrator or a panel who then hands down a decision which the parties have agreed to be bound by. It is increasingly common to arbitrate international disputes in a pre-agreed jurisdiction instead of turning to litigation.

Aviation Law

This type of law concerns air travel and is a matter of international law. It involves admiralty (maritime) law but the business aspects of air travel are largely regulated by the International Civil Aviation Organization. The emerging field of space law is predominantly based on aviation law. The Air Navigation and Transport Act 1920 forms the basis of aviation regulation in the UK.

Banking and Finance Law

Banking and finance is a diverse type of law which involves the regulation of financial products and is primarily focused on loan transactions. The work of a finance lawyer ranges from advising on simple bank loans to companies to working on highly structured financing arrangements across multiple jurisdictions. Finance lawyers have to be very commercially minded and consider the business as well as legal implications of every deal.

Clinical Negligence Law

Clinical negligence law can be both incredibly complex and heart-wrenching. Cases related to this legal practice can involve difficult medical issues and patients that suffer life-long injuries after wrongful treatment.
