litigation lawyer

Lawsuit legal counsel

A litigation lawyer is an attorney who handles lawsuits—representing clients in civil disputes that go to court or settle before trial.

The term distinguishes them from transactional lawyers, who draft contracts and handle deals without courtroom involvement.

We hired a litigation lawyer after the company refused to honor the warranty.
