Representative Deals List

If you are an attorney with experience in large national or transnational commercial transactions or cases, you may wish to prepare a Representative Deals (or Cases) List enumerating and discussing projects you have worked on as a practicing lawyer. This list should use action verbs and mention major transactions or cases in which you played significant role, as well as describing what work you performed.
