What is a litigator?

A litigator is a law professional who represents people in all types of legal cases. In this career, you may work for a client during mediation or settlement proceedings as well as on matters that are heard by a judge in court. Since most civil cases settle out of court, negotiating settlements can be a big part of your job. However, as a litigator, your duties extend to all aspects of the legal process including pre-trial research and preparation, negotiating, arranging evidence and witnesses, representing the client in court, and filing relevant appeals.

What is the difference between Litigator vs Paralegal?

Work EnvironmentLaw firms, courts, government agenciesLaw firms, corporate legal departments, government offices

While both Litigators and Paralegals work within the legal industry, Litigators are licensed attorneys who represent clients in court and handle complex legal proceedings. Paralegals support litigators by conducting research, preparing documents, and managing case files. The roles differ mainly in credentials, responsibilities, and level of legal authority.
