Improvement of legal acts regulating representation on someone’s behalf in civil proceedings

Abstract

In modern society, the current century is associated with a new stage of development – the state’s gaze is riv-eted to many areas, including the legal one, to which numerous changes and additions are being made. How-ever, in addition to the intensive development of legal technologies, there are internal problems of regulating the sphere of professional legal assistance, including the conclusion of a contract between a representative and a representative, despite the active legal transformation of the activities of lawyers and legal consultants. Practitioners and theorists discuss the issues of paying well-deserved remuneration to a lawyer, a legal con-sultant under a contract for the provision of legal assistance. Particular attention is paid to a specific form of payment for legal services, called “success fee”. In addition, the author of the study considers no less contro-versial the problem of ensuring professional secrecy, which requires additional regulation by the legislator, especially when traditional practices fade into the background, and society and business rely on IT technolo-gies. Also, foreign legislative acts are studied to analyze the identified legal gaps, and based on this, a way to eliminate them is proposed to modernize the activities carried out by lawyers and legal consultants in the pro-cess of concluding a contract and providing legal assistance for representation in court.
