defender / defense attorney
'der Verteidiger' and 'der Invasor' are clear opposites here. An invader violently enters foreign territory and attacks. A defender, on the other hand, protects a person, a thing, or a territory from attacks. 'Invasor' fits especially in military or historical contexts. 'Verteidiger' is more general and can also be used outside war and the military when someone protects or supports something.
Der Invasor besetzte die Stadt nach einem langen Kampf.
The invader occupied the city after a long battle.
Der Verteidiger stellte sich vor die Dorfbewohner und schützte sie vor den Angreifern.
