A lawyer, also known as an attorney, is a professional who is qualified to give legal advice and represent individuals and organizations in legal matters. Lawyers are trained to analyze legal issues, interpret laws and regulations, and apply them to specific situations.
They may represent clients in court, in negotiations, or in other legal proceedings. Lawyers can specialize in a wide range of areas, such as criminal law, civil law, family law, employment law, and intellectual property law.
