The analysis of communication tools used in advocacy is currently a topical research problem in the context of dynamic information communication in the sociopolitical space. The aim of the study was to analyze the attorney's request as a means of obtaining information by attorneys to carry out their professional activity. The research was conducted with the help of numerous methods, the method of expert interviews being the leading one. It was used to single out the procedural characteristics and prospects of the attorney's request in presentday Ukraine. Attention is drawn to a number of issues that complicate the process of submitting attorney's request and a proper use of this mechanism and procedure by an attorney. The 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 attorneys to consult the private sector in the process of building new markets.
