Ability to go without sleep - no joke
Friends and family who own big businesses.
Attention to detail, responsiveness, cocaine/adderall, personable with clients etc.
Political savviness, likeability, and average competence.
Ability to see the bigger picture. You can either be the “tick the box” transactional lawyer, or you can be a deal partner. Don’t get so deep in the weeds that you become the reason the deal doesn’t close.
Sub 4.7 40 yard dash, 315 bench, 450 squat. You’re going to be moving a lot of paper around the office over the years and you’ll have to do it fast. You can’t be breaking down physically.
Confidence is huge. Can’t be a shrinking violet in this field

Taking the time to understand your clients’ business and risk tolerances, and being able to provide guidance as to the potential risks and rewards associated with taking a particular action (or not taking it). So many transactional attorneys simply say no, you can’t do something because it doesn’t 100% comply with applicable laws. The reality is that no business complies with every law, and sometimes they will make a decision not to if the rewards outweigh the risks. It is our job to provide guidance and help them make an informed decision (so long as you aren’t participating in fraud or other things that result in a breach of your fiduciary duties).

Don’t lose sight of the bigger picture. No need to be a hero.
Expertise in corporate law, analytical skills, attention to detail, communication and negotiation skills, business acumen, teamwork, and professionalism are all required for a great corporate transactional lawyer. They must be able to identify legal issues, come up with creative solutions, and negotiate favorable terms for their clients while keeping their own interests in mind.
