Attorney is not getting on - it follows a major conflict (6)
I believe the answer is:
treaty
'attorney is not' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'on it follows a major conflict' is the wordplay.
'on' is an insertion indicator (as in clothing 'on' a person).
'it' becomes ''t' (abbreviation. e.g. in 'tis).
'follows' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'major conflict' becomes 'trey' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
't' put after 'a' is 'at'.
'at' inserted into 'trey' is 'TREATY'.
'getting' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for treaty that I've seen before include "'Pact, accord (6)'" , "Political or private agreement" , "Covenant" , "International agreement" , "Pact or agreement between nations" .)
