'der Anwalt' and 'die Anwältin' both refer to a person who gives legal advice and can represent people in court. The most important difference is gender: 'der Anwalt' is the masculine form, and 'die Anwältin' is the feminine form. Learners may confuse the words because the work is the same and only the person designation is different. When speaking about a woman, 'die Anwältin' is more precise and more natural. When speaking about a man, you say 'der Anwalt'.
