legal consultant
Attorney for hire
A legal consultant is a professional who provides expert advice on legal matters without necessarily representing clients in court.
Unlike attorneys who handle litigation, legal consultants typically advise on compliance, contracts, regulations, or specific areas of law: The company hired a legal consultant to review their employment policies.
The term sometimes describes lawyers working in advisory rather than advocacy roles.
