a corporate lawyer focuses on the workings of that company in legal terms. Creating documents, contracts, and other things that protect the company legally. They also can take legal action against customers who don't pay and give advise about certain aspects of the business and the legality of the actions.

There are three major kinds: (1) corporate (house) counsel, employees of a company who give general advice and hire outside counsel for specific functions; (2) outside counsel who do research and give advice on specific matters (and who may be subdivided by specialty, such as libel law, securities law, patent & trademark law, tort law, medical law, etc.); (3) litigators -- trial counsel -- who manage and argue cases.
"Corporate lawyer" is just a grandiose title. Many with that title, whether or not house counsel, deal in "mergers and acquisitions" and in stock and bond issuance. That's probably where the most money is.
