Ekamai is sort of right but not completely. My sister is a corporate lawyer and yes she does make a lot of money, but she specializes in international law. However the real money is in mergers & aquisitions which is another specialized area of corporate law. Look at Jonathan Nelson who just put together a $51 billion dollar telcom buy-out (see Fortune Magazine) . You can bet that the lawyers on that deal are making tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars. The Forbes billionaire list has two who are M & A lawyers. |

Entertainment Lawyers (agents), because they get a percentage of every contract they negotiate.
Think Ari Gold from Entourage and you get the picture. |

Generally I see people in high profile transactional law (corporate) and patent law making the most money. By corporate I do not mean corporate in-house counsel though. That is usually a salary position.
Yet there is no sure thing for making a lot in law. A criminal lawyer can make quite a lot, as can a tort lawyer - depending on their abilities and the time they put into it. |

Definately Corporate. Whos the richest guy on earth? Bill Gates. Now imagine how much money Microsoft's lawyers make. Think about Google. Think about Cisco, or the lawyers that represent the Oil companies. This is a whole different level than Celebrities. |
