Good point on associating, though I doubt liability would spring from the former bad act but be careful.
Never saw a motion for substitution in bankruptcy court but have seen a motion to withdraw/disqualify counsel. I did see a substitution of attorney get challenged in a district court since the substitution form includes /requires a court order.
Debtor should be able to select counsel of choice.

Although it is unusual, and work that should be unnecessary, a motion for substitution of attorney would be appropriate if current counsel continues to refuse to sign the Substitution.
Also, if you believe that there are some liability exposure issues as to the current counsel, association with the existing lawyer would not be a good idea.

Subject: [cdcbaa] Substitution of Attorney requirements
I am substituting into a Chapter 7 case to deal with postpetition issues for a debtor.
The current attorney is (so far) not signing off on the substitution of attorney form for reasons that probably have to do with some liability exposure.
Is it mandatory to have current counsel sign off on the substitution of attorney in order to it to be effectuated?
I've never run into this situation before where current counsel didn't jump at the chance to get out of the case.

I am substituting into a Chapter 7 case to deal with postpetition
issues for a debtor.
The current attorney is (so far) not signing off on the substitution
of attorney form for reasons that probably have to do with some
liability exposure.
Is it mandatory to have current counsel sign off on the substitution
of attorney in order to it to be effectuated?
I've never run into this situation before where current counsel
didn't jump at the chance to get out of the case.
