As in a banking lawyer? And has this person already qualified as a lawyer or is in the process of doing so?

No just banking or finance in general. Not as a lawyer

I think this bowl is for banking lawyers - you might be better off in another bowl. If we knew how to be bankers we would have done that instead.....
