The work summarizes new research philosophical and legal aspects of the attorney’s recommendations in the course of replacements in the middle of a representation. There is an ethical obligation for lawyers to competently represent their clients in all life circumstances and it is not uncommon for lawyers to think differently about the case. Particular attention is paid to the circumstances, where the replacement of an attorney may need to step in. The circumstances of substitution of lawyers are analyzed and the principles of lawyer ethics, the main works of scientists dealing with the ethics of advocacy are studied. Also, the definitions of the concept of "original attorney" are given.

The main conclusion of the study was that the relationship between attorney’s during replacements is necessary to regulate and those, who have approached a lawyer, can look for advice on lawyers, who could replace them in the event of a threat of force majeure. In the author opinion, interaction between lawyers is an organic part of the relationship with the client and this issue requires careful consideration of the legal profession to capture the benefits for access to justice in case of switch attorneys halfway of a representation.
