Tom, perhaps needs pounds for second legal representative (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lawyer

'legal representative' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for lawyer that I've seen before include ""Let's kill all the --s" (Henry VI/2)" , "One provides legal advice" , "Legal professional" , "Member of the legal profession" , "Solicotor or barrister" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
