Uninstructed or de-instructed lawyer
Asker's context in the discussion entires: '...die advocaat niet meer verder optreedt voor de partij die zijn cliënt was....' Uninstructed > is still on the case vs. de-instructed: has been taken off - or taken him- or herself - the case.
The verb of 'de-instruct' is used in the UK, principally for Solicitors whose retainer has either been withdrawn by the client/s: Michael B. 'discharged' or refuse to carry on acting for clients who, for instance, haven't paid their bill or have accused their Solicitor/s of incompetence, dishonesty or malpractice.

"It seems to us that if the solicitors discharged themselves for non-payment they would have had a difficult time maintaining the justification for their lien upon an application to the High Court for release of those papers in the interests of justice."

also (and depending on who is doing the discharging), in certain contexts, an "advocaat zonder instructie" could be referred to as a "discharged lawyer"

more context pls!
"Bij gebrek aan betaling van de gevraagde provisies of kostennota’s, zal het advocatenkantoor gerechtigd zijn zich zonder instructie te verklaren en de werkzaamheden stop te zetten.
De klant kan ten allen tijde en einde maken aan de opdracht, waarna een geactualiseerde staat van kosten en erelonen wordt bezorgd."

see e.g.:
"Als een advocaat laat weten dat hij zonder instructies is betekent dit dat die advocaat niet meer verder optreedt voor de partij die zijn cliënt was. " (https://juridischforum.be/viewtopic.php?t=23585 )
is the context "non-instructed advocacy", perchance?
