The methodological basis of the work is a theoretical and applied analysis of the psychological components of professional career planning; the possibilities of comparative, formal-logical and structural-functional methods were used (when generalizing the specifics of professional activity of a lawyer, establishment of cause-and-effect relationship between motivation and the choice of profession of a lawyer). It is argued that among the factors of a successful professional career is, first of all, a realistic approach to choosing a field of activity, as well as clear planning of the profession. The process of planning and developing a professional career ensures the relationship between the goals of the organization and professionals, taking into account their needs and interests; study and assessment of staff development potential; acquainting specialists with the real prospects of their career growth, etc. The scientific novelty of the obtained results is the generalization of psychological features of planning and development of professional career of legal professionals, which is carried out by comparing personal needs, desires and ideas in the field of jurisprudence with the possibility of satisfying them with available organizational measures; contributes to the development of practical recommendations for improving the activities of legal professionals. Conclusions. Career planning and control is that from the moment of employment in the organization until the possible dismissal of the employee should organize a planned horizontal and vertical movement of the specialist in the system of positions and jobs. The most significant personal factors influencing the professional self-determination of a lawyer are: value regulators of behavior and motivational sphere, which give an understanding of self-efficacy, which is expressed in the ability to organize their own activities and achieve success; attitude to professional activity (satisfaction or dissatisfaction with legal activity), which stimulates the development of motives for choosing a profession and further development; flexibility of behavior which contributes to effective interpersonal interaction. The career development program should ensure the process of increasing the level of interest of employees, identifying people with high professional and psychological potential. Qualitative and constant analysis of career opportunities and regular filling of the organization’s links reflects the effectiveness of staff in general, the assessment of qualifications, their knowledge and professional skills etc.
