A corporate lawyer is a lawyer who is in charge of the legal side of a buisness. Their job is to find a way for buisnesses to do what they want under the rules of the law. They must use their legal knowledge and research skills as well as creative thinking to find a way for a buisness's intended action to work. Also, they would persuade and negotiate with other buisnesses in agreements and mergers and check to make sure that it was a legal as well as a good decison (you wouldn't want to buy into a company with billions of dollars in debt, and so a corporate lawyer would take the appropriate measures to make sure that they were a good company). They would also draft the agreements, merger conditions, and contracts. Corporate lawyers are paid very well, generally the best among all types of lawyers, with a mean salary of around $150,000 and large organizations/law firm's top corporate lawyers getting paid over $700,000. Although the job duties differ, the skills necessary to be a corporate lawyer are very similar to that of other lawyers.

No. "A lawyer may not practice in a legal corporation if a nonlawyer has an interest in the corporation as a shareholder, officer, or director. However, a fiduciary representative of the estate of a lawyer may hold the stock or interest of the lawyer for a reasonable time during administration. Also, a lawyer may not participate in such a practice if her professional judgment is subject to the direction or control of a nonlawyer." -Rules of Professional Conduct, 5.4(d)

If you are a lawyer do you get health insurance and vacation time?

Benefits such as these are not a function of being a lawyer as such. Instead, they are a function of the lawyer's employer. Typically, a law firm that employes a lawyer will offer these benefits, as will a corporation that has in-house counsel. However, a solo-practitioner (a lawyer practicing law on his/her own) or with a small group, may not initially be able to afford the insurance or the time off, especially while buidling a practice.
