Pry about argument with lawyers (7)
I believe the answer is:
crowbar
'pry' is the definition.
('crowbar' can be a synonym of 'pry')
'about argument with lawyers' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 'c' (abbreviation for 'circa'**).
'argument' becomes 'row' (I've seen this before).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'lawyers' becomes 'bar' (I've seen this before).
'c'+'row'+'bar'='CROWBAR'
(Other definitions for crowbar that I've seen before include "Powerful opener" , "Purchase may be obtained from this" , "Iron lever for prising" , "Metal rod used as a lever" , "Jemmy" .)
