English lawyer
An English lawyer is a professional who provides legal services in England and Wales. Lawyers can specialize in various fields, such as criminal law, family law, or corporate law. They advise clients on legal matters, represent them in court, and help draft legal documents. In England, there are two main types of lawyers: solicitors, who typically handle direct client interactions and legal advice, and barristers, who represent clients in court and are often engaged by solicitors for trial work. Lawyers must complete legal training and are regulated by professional bodies to ensure standards and ethics.
