What's the difference between a litigator and a non-litigator?
1, the business direction is different. Non-litigation lawyer, whose main business is company compliance review, ownership structure, company merger and division, merger and acquisition, listing, legal opinions, contract negotiation, etc. , is more commercial. Litigation lawyers have a wide variety of businesses, which are mainly divided into four categories: civil, commercial, administrative and criminal. Their business fields span a large span and are highly differentiated, and it is difficult to integrate with each other. Therefore, litigation lawyers generally only focus on a certain type of business, and it is difficult to take care of both, and it is even more difficult to get straight A's;
2. The main battlefield is different. The main battlefield of litigation lawyers is the court, and their opponents include not only lawyers, but also judges and parties. The choice of litigation ideas and strategies has a far-reaching impact on the outcome of litigation, and the main result is the court's judgment or mediation. Non-litigation lawyers basically do not appear in court. Their main battlefields are in offices and conference rooms, attending various meetings, discussing and studying, looking up various materials and modifying various documents. The results of their work are all kinds of copywriting, legal opinions and agreements;
3. Different professional requirements. Litigation lawyers, whose legal relationship is relatively simple, the opinions of the parties in litigation are contradictory, and their improvisation and evidence analysis skills are high, require extremely high professional level, theoretical basis, oral expression ability and on-site response ability. The lawyer's personal ability has a great relationship with the outcome of the lawsuit, which is more suitable for a single lawyer to fight alone or two lawyers to cooperate, not suitable for the confrontation of lawyers and not suitable for the integrated operation of the company. Rather than litigation lawyers, the work content is complex and huge, with obvious procedural and modularity, which requires high writing ability and relatively low theoretical level. Lawyers usually work as a team, perform their duties, carry out assembly line operations, and have obvious characteristics of teamwork. In my opinion, litigation cases will become more and more complicated, so the average litigator will be busier and earn more.
To sum up, non-litigation lawyers are difficult, and non-litigation cases generally involve a large amount of subject matter and complicated cases. The difference between a litigious lawyer and a litigious lawyer is that there is no litigation; The main business is company compliance review, equity structure, company merger and division, contract negotiation, etc. , tend to be commercialized. Non-litigation lawyers basically do not appear in court, and the main battlefield is in the office and conference room. The main battlefield of litigation lawyers is the court. Lawyer ad litem: There are four types of business: civil, commercial, administrative and criminal. The business scope is large, mainly business, and litigation lawyers are mainly in courts.
