Hi there,
I am creating a platform for searching the lawyer..In it the lawyer’s profile will be visible to everyone..In registration form I have a field called “Account type” containig 2 options viz. lawyer and client…The registration is open for clients and lawyers will have to pay…I want that if a person’s account type is a lawyer then he can add only “client” as a friend and not a lawyer and client can add only one lawyer..Is it possible with buddypress…

That can be done via filters.

For example, look at function bp_is_friend in buddypress\bp-friends\bp-friends-template.php

For the members loop, you could use that filter to hook into a custom function that determines whether the members is a client or lawyer or already a friend and return true or false or empty depending on whether you want to show the add_friend button.
