A quick definition of advisory counsel:

An advisory counsel is a lawyer who is hired to give advice on a specific matter, but is not actively participating in a case. They are different from trial counsel, who represent clients in court. Standby counsel is a type of advisory counsel who is appointed to be ready to represent a criminal defendant if they choose to represent themselves but later change their mind. In-house counsel and corporate counsel are lawyers who work for a company, while appointed counsel are lawyers appointed by the court to represent someone who cannot afford a lawyer.

A more thorough explanation:

Advisory counsel refers to a lawyer who is hired to provide advice or assistance on a specific matter, but is not actively participating in the case. They are not the main lawyer representing the client in court.

For example, if a company is facing a legal issue, they may hire an advisory counsel to provide guidance on how to handle the situation. The advisory counsel may provide legal advice and recommendations, but they are not the ones representing the company in court.

Another example is in criminal cases, where a defendant may choose to represent themselves in court. In this situation, the court may appoint an advisory counsel to be available to provide guidance and advice to the defendant during the trial.

Overall, advisory counsel is a lawyer who provides advice and assistance on a specific matter, but is not the main lawyer representing the client in court.
