law firm
An organized group of lawyers providing legal services, legal advice, or both to clients.
A law firm is an organized group of lawyers which provides legal services and/or counsel.
The group consists of lawyers offering professional legal services. Providing advice is sufficient; every assignment need not involve a court appearance.
An accounting firm can work with the same financial matters through bookkeeping or auditing. That work does not by itself make the firm a group of lawyers.
