Litigation Attorney Vs. Trial Attorneys-Whats The Difference

Litigation Attorneys Vs Trial Attorneys - Whats the Difference

Even though litigation and trial mean the same thing there is a difference between a litigation attorney and a trial attorney therefore if you have a litigation lawsuit you need to do some research.

Litigation Attorneys

Firstly with a litigation lawsuit it does not mean it will automatically go to trial. The vast majority of lawsuits are settled out of court and it mainly due to the work that a litigation attorney does.

Litigation attorneys do all the necessary work that is required out of court. They are responsible for filing lawsuits, gathering all the evidence that is required, meeting with the client and conduct the necessary legal research. They will also argue motions and file to defend their client. All this work is done way before the case will go to court and the attorneys will try and settle out of court. If it looks as if the case will be going to trial then the litigation lawyers will prepare the client and witnesses. …show more content…
They specialize in the legal paperwork and the research required with the knowledge in their specific area of expertise such as family law, wills etc.

Some of them are also skilled trial attorneys and will also represent that client at court. Since not all of them will present the case in court they will hand it over to a trial lawyer to prepare it for trial. It does not mean the the litigator will leave the case to someone else but the days you need to be represented in court the trial lawyer will take over. The trial lawyer might even need to ask the litigator about legal knowledge to defend the case well.
