Barristers

Barristers are specialized lawyers in certain legal systems, particularly in the UK and some common law jurisdictions. They primarily represent clients in court, offering expert legal advice and advocacy. Unlike solicitors, who often handle the initial stages of a case and interact directly with clients, barristers focus on courtroom work, preparing and delivering legal arguments. They typically wear a formal gown and wig during court proceedings. Barristers are often hired by solicitors to provide specialist knowledge and represent clients in complex legal matters, ensuring that legal cases are effectively presented before a judge or jury.
