very specialized field dealing with advertisement litigation. these days, the big bucks are in defending against FCC complaints. bro i know billed crazy hours last year defending a swedish condom maker for a U.S. commercial that had a nanosecond nip slip. Lots of pissed off americans complained because i guess they caught it on DVR or some shit. anyways, bottom line: commercial lit is hot shit right now. you can get in the ground floor doing fraudulent claims (i.e., toothpaste co. says 5/6 dentists approve this toothpaste but its really 4/6 and shit has hit the fan and they need big-time legal rep).

I'd love to do that shit but advertising litigation/contract lit seems more specialized than commercial lit in general. Figured it could just be companies suing each other or people suing companies for breach of K/incomplete goods shipped/inadequate or faulty goods or services, something along those lines. Sort of boring..

nah dood commercial = advertisement. it's a synonym bro.

the more general litigation you are referring to is called transactional litigation. don't worry when you start your SA just ask the assigning partners that you want to be placed in the corporate transactional litigation group.

but if you decide that you want to do the commercial/advertisement litigation i described above, make sure you express interest in a particular type of advertisement industry and medium. for example, the new "hot" area is, believe it or not, fraudulent pop-up ads for penis enhancement. i actually did a 2 week project at my firm on this on the defense side and it was lulzy as fuck. at one point i was combing through like 80 page forum threads and studies about average penis sizes for evidence.

so all those deals the corp doods spend all day doing, well, a lot of the time teh actual parties don't pay much attention to them or decide "fuck it, I ain't paying" or some such shit, and commercial lit doods clean up all the shit left over from the vague wording both parties finally agreed upon because it seemed to both as if it could potentially go their way

also, pretty often one of the parties is just straight up lying about something hoping it will never come up as long as things go well

in biglaw, commercial lit basically refers to anything -- securities cases, contract cases, class action defense, product liability / mass tort defense, bankruptcy lit, m&a lit, etc.
