Lawyers have provided legal services, and even if they lose, they still need to pay agency fees. According to Article 3 of China's Measures for the Administration of Lawyers' Service Fees, lawyers' service fees follow the principles of openness, fairness, voluntary compensation and good faith. Instead of charging according to the winning or losing of the lawsuit.
Article 4 of the Measures for the Administration of Lawyers' Service Fees stipulates that lawyers' service fees shall be subject to government-guided prices and market-regulated prices. Article 13 stipulates that to implement the risk agency fee, the law firm shall sign a risk agency fee contract with the client, and stipulate the risk responsibility, charging method, charging amount or proportion that both parties should bear.
Common types of attorney fees
1. General agent: Acting for clients in accordance with lawyers' professional ethics and safeguarding the rights of clients. Generally, it is 2-5% of the amount of the subject matter of litigation. If the goal is high, it can also be lower than this ratio.
2. Risk agency: Pay the agency fee according to the percentage of the winning amount or the obtained amount, or pay the agency fee according to the percentage of the reduced payment, which is of course higher than the general agency, and the maximum is not higher than 30%.
3. Semi-risk agency: Given a certain basic cost, the rest will be considered as risk agency, which is of course between the proportion of general agency and risk agency.
If the first general agent loses the lawsuit, he will have to pay the lawyer's fee. If it is the second all-insurance agent, you don't have to pay the lawyer's fee if you lose the lawsuit. If it is the third kind of semi-risk agent, only the initial basic expenses will be paid, and other expenses will not be paid.
