Accept point covered by lawyers (4)
I believe the answer is:
bear
'accept' is the definition.
('bear' can be a synonym of 'accept')
'point covered by lawyers' is the wordplay.
'point' becomes 'e' (E is an example).
'covered by' indicates putting letters inside.
'lawyers' becomes 'bar' (I've seen this before).
'e' inserted within 'bar' is 'BEAR'.
(Other definitions for bear that I've seen before include "Give birth to; animal" , "It may be polar or grizzly" , "Abide; support" , "grizzly, perhaps?" , "Press (on) - approach threateningly" .)
