What is a lawyer? – The difference between a lawyer and an advocate

What is a lawyer? A lawyer holds a law degree and provides advice across areas such as GDPR, contract law and company law. Our lawyers help you interpret and apply laws and other external requirements relevant to your operations. An important difference between a lawyer and an advocate is that advocates must be members of the Swedish Bar Association.

 

Whether you instruct a lawyer or an advocate, it is essential to ensure the adviser has the expertise required for your issues. Even if an advocate is a member of the bar, law is a broad field and no one can be an expert in everything. The key is to find an adviser who is an expert in the legal area where you need support.

 

Choosing between a lawyer and an advocate often comes down to the type of matter. For many legal issues — contracts, company law or GDPR — a lawyer with the right competence is more than sufficient. A lawyer can provide qualified advice and help you avoid legal risk before it arises. If you prefer speed and convenience, you can also ask a lawyer online for an initial steer before deciding on next steps.

Which type of lawyer do you need?

When you plan to ask a lawyer, it is important to identify the lawyer best suited to your matter. Morling Consulting offers expert advice from lawyers across several specialisms:

  • Business lawyers: Support across the breadth of issues that arise in day-to-day commercial operations.
  • GDPR lawyers: Specialists in GDPR compliance.
  • Contract lawyers: Review and drafting of legally robust commercial contracts.
  • AML lawyers: Compliance support and advice under anti-money laundering legislation.

It is not uncommon for a contract lawyer to be involved only when a dispute is imminent. For example, your counterparty may allege a breach of contract and that the agreement can now be terminated. Or you may suspect your counterparty has breached the contract and want to understand the implications, such as entitlement to damages or termination. It is often advisable to ask a lawyer before matters escalate, to manage potential risks before they materialise.
