Law school graduates possess unique skills that make them ideally suited for contract management roles. Most contract managers currently come from technical backgrounds and require additional training in contract law, whereas law school graduates already have substantial experience in all aspects of contract management from their legal education. Employers will benefit from hiring law school graduates as they are prepared to apply their legal knowledge to business and require less costly training than other candidates. Law school graduates bring applicable skills in negotiation, remedies, and other legal areas directly related to contract management.
