Counseling in litigation is when a lawyer provides legal advice and guidance to a client involved in a lawsuit or potential lawsuit. The purpose of counselling in litigation is to assist the client in understanding the legal issues involved

in the case, the strengths and weaknesses

of their position, and the potential outcomes

and risks of the case. During the counselling

process, a lawyer may review relevant laws, regulations, and case law, as well as gather and analyse evidence, interview witnesses, and

develop a strategy for resolving the dispute.

The lawyer may also discuss potential settlement

options with the client, as well as the costs and benefits of going to trial.
