Keywords:

This article provides a scientific, theoretical, and legal analysis of the legal status of law firms; examines the features of the structure of the law office and legal advice, national and foreign experience in improving the legal status of these law firms, and offers proposals for making appropriate amendments to the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan “On Advocacy”. In addition, the general, similar, and mutual differences between a law firm and a bar association, and the rights and obligations of lawyers in a law firm and a bar association have been theoretically and legally investigated. According to the results of studies carried out directly in practice, it was emphasized that it is urgent to organize the activities of the legal consultancy, which is considered to be an advocacy structure, as stipulated in the legislation, and to create a materially, technically and financially effective support system for the full operation of the legal consultancy. A comparative analysis of the legal status of the legal structures of foreign countries with national legal structures revealed the dependence of the legal structures in the countries on the socio-legal nature of the institute of advocacy. In order to improve the legal foundations of this institution, taking into account the studies, the relevance of the theoretical and practical foundations of the bar institute in the Republic of Uzbekistan was revealed. The current state of advocacy in the Republic of Uzbekistan, current issues of the legal status of advocacy structures, and ways of improvement were determined.
