Host Krystal Norton is joined by Peter Siviglia, an attorney with more than 50 years' experience practicing law in New York and author of Transactional Skills: Contract Preparation and Negotiating (What to do - and What Not to Do). Peter's candid comments throughout this episode help listeners get a feel for transactional lawyering, including the types of cases they may handle and the types of responsibilities they will have in practice.
