Solicitors is the plural of solicitor, a word with different meanings in British and American English.
In Britain, a solicitor is a lawyer who handles legal matters outside court—contracts, wills, property transactions—distinguished from barristers who argue cases before judges.
In American usage, a solicitor is someone who seeks business or donations: No solicitors allowed.
A solicitor general is a government's second-ranking legal officer.
