# represent clients in courts — Legal Counsel

For Legal Counsel, 'representing clients in courts' isn’t *always* standing before a judge delivering a closing argument – though it can be! More often, it means strategically preparing for and managing litigation *risks*. Daily tasks include drafting pleadings (complaints, answers, motions), discovery requests/responses, and pre-trial briefs. It also involves actively participating in court conferences, depositions, and potentially arguing procedural matters or summary judgment motions. Tools are heavily document-focused: legal research databases (Westlaw, LexisNexis), eDiscovery platforms, and robust case management systems are essential.
