I am applying for a position with a law firm that handles commercial liability. Does anyone know what commercial liability is exactly? In what areas do the attorneys typically practice?

I practice commercial litigation. Essentially we do resolve disputes between persons or entities that involve contracts, fiduciariy duties, fraud. Usually the cases involve breach of contract and all of the other issues that go along with it, such as misrepresentation, fraud, unjust enrichment, negligent misrepresentation. We also get into some professional liability issues. Did you take UCC? If so, that pretty much covers most of the issues. However, many firms that practice commercial litigation really practice more than what is truly “commercial” and do more general litigation work, even torts or some white collar defense.
