Recommend lawyer (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

advocate

I believe this is a double definition.

'recommend' is the first definition.
(I know that recommend can be written as advocate)

'lawyer' is the second definition.
(advocate is a kind of lawyer)

(Other definitions for advocate that I've seen before include "Champion" , "Speak in favour of" , "Person who pleads for a cause or idea" , "barman" , "Person who pleads on behalf of another, like barrister" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, The Sun and The Telegraph.
