Abstract

Analysis of legal communication in the field of advocacy is currently a topical research problem in the context of dynamic information communication in the socio-political space. The aim of the study is to analyse the advocate’s letter of enquiry as a means of obtaining information by advocates to carry out their professional activity. Attention is drawn to a number of issues that complicate the process of submitting advocate’s letter of enquiry and the proper use of this mechanism and procedure by an advocate. Ratification of the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement opens up new prospects not only for Ukrainian and European producers, but also provides for interesting objectives for advocates to consult the private sector in the process of building new markets. In this article, we propose to make a comparison and consider the issue of access to the advocate’s letter of enquiry of Ukrainian and Polish specialists. As a result of the research, problems were identified and proposals were made for a simplified procedure for submitting an advocate’s letter of enquiry as a means of legal communication in the field of advocacy. There is a current need to simplify the procedure for submitting an advocate’s letter of enquiry as a means of legal communication in the field of advocacy. In particular, the documents must be sent electronically within the specified deadline of at least 5 working days from the date of submission. The role of an advocate’s letter of enquiry in the field of advocacy is a type of communication: communication and selection of explanations, as well as obtaining information through an advocate’s letter of enquiry to the relevant body. The markets for advocacy and legal services in Poland and Ukraine have much in common, while being developed gradually moving to EU standards in this area. However, Poland, unlike Ukraine, has already declared a monopoly of advocates on the representation of interests in courts (with certain exceptions), which is reflected in the Law on Advocacy and Procedural Codes. Ukraine’s advocacy is still facing a difficult path of reforms, which will introduce a monopoly of advocates on representing the client’s interests in court, improve the guarantees of advocacy and the prestige of the legal profession as a whole.
