Strategist

"In fencing you find that your mind is constantly moving. You're trying to make very quick decisions under a great deal of pressure, trying to predict what your opponent might be planning, and trying to work out a strategy to deal with that.

Similar sorts of issues arise all the time in the law. From thinking on your feet, to trying to read the reactions of the people with whom you might be negotiating, to trying to identify the optimal solution for your client, it's a constant series of challenges."
