    Solicitors and barristers are both types of lawyers in the UK legal system, but they have different roles and training. Solicitors can advise clients, represent them in lower courts, and handle paperwork. Barristers specialize in advocacy in higher courts and are hired by solicitors or clients to represent them in trials. The main differences are that solicitors deal directly with clients while barristers are usually self-employed, solicitors work in law firms while barristers work from chambers, and solicitors have alternative legal training options compared to the academic, vocational and pupillage requirements for barristers.
