Lawyers in private practice fall, professionally, into two main groups. The work of each group complements that of the other, and is of equal importance. See “One profession, two branches” A barrister serves as a specialist advocate and provides opinions and settles court documents. See “The work of a barrister”. A solicitor offers more general legal services that include the briefing and instructing of a barrister and otherwise organizing a case for trial.
