Counsel

Counsel refers to advice, guidance, or legal representation provided by a professional, such as a lawyer, to help individuals or organizations make informed decisions or navigate complex issues. In a legal context, counsel typically denotes a lawyer who advocates for a client in court or offers legal advice outside of court. The term can also be used more broadly to describe any expert guidance on a particular matter. Overall, counsel aims to support and protect the best interests of those they assist, whether through strategic advice or formal legal advocacy.
