In fact, the lawyer industry, like any other industry, has done well, done badly and lost money.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the high income of the lawyer industry is enviable, but the high risk of the lawyer industry is often unknown.
For example, the lawyer of Beijing Jiahua Law Firm was defrauded of 654.38+billion yuan due to work mistakes, and the court ruled that the firm returned 65.438+0 million yuan in lawyer fees and compensated the client for 8 million yuan. In addition, lawyers also have the risk of criminal punishment in Article 306 of the Criminal Law and the risk of administrative punishment by judicial administrative organs and lawyers' associations.
Risk agency is also a lawyer's practice risk. As a new charging method, risk agency has not been clearly affirmed in law, so the income of lawyer risk agency is risky. Not long ago, in order to strengthen the tax supervision of high-income earners, State Taxation Administration of The People's Republic of China established a personal income tax information management system in the national tax system, which defined high-income industries and high-income individuals as key taxpayers, while lawyers were classified as high-income industries.
However, considering the overall development status of lawyers and the appeals of relevant departments and industry associations, the lawyer tax will not be adjusted for the time being. It can also be seen that the income of lawyers is not as high as people think.
To sum up, lawyers' income is not calculated on a monthly basis like ordinary employees or public officials. Lawyers are a special working group, and their income is also calculated in different ways. Generally, their income is calculated according to the amount of the case.
