Law and Finance - Graduating next semester with a degree in finance

I'm graduating next semester with a degree in finance from a good school in Canada. I don't have much experience except for a brief role as a marketing assistant for an engineering company. I'm currently looking for entry level roles in wealth management.

Anyway, I've always been interested in law, but unfortunately it's a little too late to apply for grad school and I'm not super interested in doing another 4 years to become a lawyer.

My question is, what field in finance could I get into which mixes both law and finance. The first thing that struck me was risk management. But as a finance major, there's alot of quant work i'd have to do if I was in this field.

Anyone have any ideas or can enlighten me on the subject? I'll probably ask a few of my professors and advisors after the next two weeks, but as I'm applying for jobs now, it would be much appreciated to hear it from you guys. Thanks a lot.

Happy holidays everyone!
