Tip 37.  Common confusion: oriented or orientated?

Which is correct?

We have many years of experience providing .................... and client-focused legal advice to companies throughout Europe.

A. business-oriented

Correct answer!

Comment:

'Orient' is shorter and simpler than 'orientate' – it's also strictly the correct form.

'Orientate' is often mistakenly used because the noun is 'orientation'. By extension the verb from 'implementation' would be 'implementate' not 'implement' ('implement' is correct!)

B. business-orientated

Wrong answer, try again!
