A "lawyer" or "attorney" is a general term most people use when referring to a business professional with the legal expertise to represent clients in a courtroom. Many people don't know that lawyers and attorneys can specialize in various areas, including:

The role of a lawyer or attorney can vary depending on the jurisdiction. However, they are primarily responsible for providing legal representation, advice, and assistance to their clients, drafting legal documents such as wills or deeds, and arguing their client's cases before a court of law.
What is a Litigator?
Litigators are often also referred to as courtroom or trial lawyers. A litigator has a specific role that is primarily and often solely dedicated to preparing and presenting arguments before a court of law and debating legal disputes on their client's behalf. A litigator's time may sometimes include investigation, trials, settlements, and appeals. They are also likely to:
- Represent plaintiffs or defendants
- Spend a lot of time arguing in cases in court
- Handle any legal issue that may arise and requires an appearance in court
