What happens if a client consents to the attorney's withdrawal?

When a client consents to the attorney's withdrawal, it is important to follow proper legal procedures to ensure that the withdrawal is handled appropriately and does not disrupt the proceedings. Presenting the application ex parte with a proposed order allows the attorney to formally seek permission from the court to withdraw without needing to notify the opposing party. This can simplify the withdrawal process and maintains clarity in legal proceedings, as it demonstrates that the attorney has the client's approval.

In contexts where consent is given, the court often allows this streamlined process which can expedite the attorney's withdrawal and ensure that all procedural requirements are met efficiently. The attorney’s request must still be accompanied by the necessary documentation and, in some cases, the court may still require a hearing to finalize the withdrawal, depending on the specific circumstances and jurisdictional rules.
