Both solicitors and barristers are lawyers - professionals in the law. A barrister specialises in arguing your case in court. A solicitor specialises in drawing up paperwork such as contracts, conveyances, and wills. Solicitors are only allowed to represent you in the lowest courts - in higher courts you will need a barrister. And a barrister will be "instructed" by a solicitor, who has prepared all the facts from which the barrister will present your case. There are many more solicitors than barristers.

A solicitor sits in an office, a barrister sits in court... and I am not sure about the lawyer.
Solicitors sometimes do the legal work for a barrister, who then picks up the solicitors documentation prior to a case to reads up on what its about.

All barristers and solicitors are lawyers but not all lawyers are barristers or solicitors.
