Signing a contract with a lawyer can cancel the contract. For various reasons, after establishing a service relationship with a lawyer, the client may find that the lawyer hired is not suitable. In this case, the service relationship can be terminated through consultation with the law firm, and the lawyer's fees are generally paid according to the actual progress of the lawyer's work, and the excess lawyer's fees should be returned to the client. If the termination of the contract causes losses to the other party, if the cause of the loss is not caused by the party who advocates the termination of the contract, the loss may not be compensated, but if it is caused by the party who terminates the contract, it shall be compensated.
The client may refuse his entrusted lawyer to continue to defend or represent him, and at the same time, he may entrust another lawyer to act as a defender or agent. After accepting the entrustment, a lawyer shall not refuse to defend or represent without justifiable reasons. However, if the entrusted matter is illegal, the client uses the services provided by the lawyer to engage in illegal activities, or the client deliberately conceals important facts related to the case, the lawyer has the right to refuse to defend or represent him. You can terminate the entrustment contract.
Both parties have the right to terminate the agency contract formed between them at any time. If the termination of the contract causes losses to the other party, if it is not caused by the party who advocates the termination of the contract, it may not compensate for the losses. If it is caused by the party who cancels the contract, it shall compensate for the losses.
