the field of law is “mergers and acquisitions” (M&A). Most M&A lawyers work for big firms. Companies hire the firms. Some companies also have their own lawyers (in-house counsel) who do some of the legal work themselves and are in charge of hiring/dealing with the firms.

Some firms also have “oil and gas” practices–they do lots of things, like lobbying on behalf of those companies, advising companies on federal regulations, etc.
