I'm pretty sure the finance guys do the finance stuff, you just look up the legal issues.fish tacos wrote:Is this really that ridiculous of a question?

I'd just like to know if those in corporate law spend as much time looking at excel spreadsheets as investment bankers do.

Not likely you'll be running complex financial calculations since that's what they have finance guys for. You just look stuff up on west.
Either way, you can learn what you need in some corp law/corp finance courses in law school.
Haven't taken any classes on it, just researched some smaller places that require more research for the types of transactions.BunkMoreland wrote: No, not really at all. You are way off.
To OP: You take precedent from the firm's database, copy and paste new terms in, and generally make sure "the deal" is running smoothly. You might study the terms in a purchase agreement or merger agreement to make sure they are specific enough, commas in the right place, etc. Most of the knowledge is accretive once you're on the job; no, you won't need to know finance shit. It's helpful to take corporations, securities regulation, and secured transactions if you want a taste of what it's sort of like
