English translation:(BrE) Retainer > (AmE> Litigation) Retainer Agreement
Explanation:
Counsel (no article, whether definite or indefinte) acts for the Petitioner and lodges the Retainer Agreement file/bundle for the record to become (BrE) A Solicitor or Counsel (Barrister/Scots: Advocate) of Record > (AmE) an Attorney of Record.

Proxy Counsel connotes - to me at least - a Correspondent Lawyer acting at a location near the court and on behalf of the client's original lawyer elsewhere. If anything, the delegatie de reprezentare would be a Power of Attorney.

Why would any lawyer need to submit their retainer agreement to the court?

= to become (BrE) A Solicitor or Counsel (Barrister/Scots: Advocate) of Record > (AmE) an Attorney of Record, namely put down on the court record as acting for one of the litigants.

Notes to answerer
Asker: How about 'proxy counsel for the petitioner'... or 'counsel, acting for the petitioner, submits the proxy...' Not sure 'retainer agreement' is the right thing to use here.

Asker: Maybe, but I only have this one sentence. Why would any lawyer need to submit their retainer agreement to the court?

Asker: Thank you for your help. I'll sleep on it and think about it tomorrow :)

neutral  Cristina Crişan: Counsels are normally in-house staff and their services cannot be retained//Aye, you're right about the immutability.
11 hrs
  -> 1. Counsel as a word is normally immutable and neither pluralis/zes nor takes an article; 2. agreed to your interpretation of the term: of-Counsel in an American inhouse sense 3. In the UK & Ireland, Trial Counsel is oft a 'Solicitor of Record' in court.
