Attorney, Law & Legal
Attorney, Attorney in fact
Lawyer Search
Generally speaking, an attorney is one who acts on behalf of another person in some capacity. An attorney-in-fact is akin to an agent who acts on behalf of another person, typically with respect to business, property, or personal matters. Such an agent does not have to be licensed to practice law and may not need to have any license at all.
By contrast an attorney-at-law, or lawyer, is a person trained and licensed by a relevant jurisdiction to practice law by representing clients in legal matters and giving legal advice. In the United States, the term attorney, standing alone, generally refers to this meaning rather than to “attorney-in-fact”.
