Generally speaking, our country has not yet proposed a legal fee transfer system, that is, whoever appoints the lawyer shall bear the legal fees. The lawyer appointed by the plaintiff shall be paid by the plaintiff, and the lawyer appointed by the defendant shall be paid by the defendant. However, in some cases, for example, the parties to the contract agree in the contract that the subject shall bear the attorney's fees, or in certain trademark, patent and other intellectual property cases, the plaintiff requests the defendant in the complaint to bear the costs incurred in investigating and stopping infringement. If the attorney's fees are borne by the losing party, the court may order that the losing party bear them. Since the court has made a judgment, if the content of the judgment involves the payment of attorney's fees, the judgment shall be implemented in accordance with the content of the judgment. Otherwise, the client shall bear the corresponding attorney's fees.
Legal basis:
Article 29 of the "Measures for the Payment of Litigation Fees" Litigation expenses shall be borne by the losing party, except where the winning party voluntarily bears them.
If the case is partially won and partially lost, the people's court shall determine the amount of litigation costs borne by each party based on the specific circumstances of the case.
****If the same litigant loses the case, the people's court shall determine the amount of litigation expenses borne by each party based on the interests of the parties in the subject matter of the litigation.
