Legal basis: Measures for the Administration of Lawyers' Service Fees Article 19 Lawyers' fees, arbitration fees, appraisal fees, notarization fees and file retrieval fees paid by law firms on behalf of clients in the process of providing legal services are not lawyers' service fees and should be paid separately by clients. Twenty-second lawyers' service fees, fees paid on behalf of clients and travel expenses for handling cases in different places shall be uniformly collected by law firms. Without permission, a lawyer may not charge any fees to the client. In addition to the three fees listed in the preceding paragraph, law firms and lawyers may not charge other fees from clients in any name. Article 23 A law firm shall accept the entrustment to undertake legal aid cases. No fees shall be charged to the recipient for handling legal aid cases. For citizens who do have financial difficulties but do not meet the scope of legal aid, the law firm may, as appropriate, reduce or exempt the lawyer's service fee.
