huvudadvokat


Explanation:
Lead attorney/leading counsel = huvudadvokat (from the verb to lead, i.e. the attorney that leads the entire team of attorneys).

From Dictionary of Law, Peter Collin Publishing:
leading counsel = main barrister (usually a QC) in a team appearing for one side in a case "första" rättegångsombud, huvudadvokat

From link below:
De 26 delstaterna menade fortfarande att sjukvårdsreformen bryter mot konstitutionen. ObamaCares advokater - ledda av administrationens huvudadvokat Neal Katyal hävdade dock att sjukvårdsreformens legimitet grundades i Kongressens rätt att reglera handeln.
