Do I have to pay a lawyer's fee if I lose the lawsuit?

In general, you need to charge a lawyer. The standard of lawyer's fee depends on the complexity of the case, and lawyer's fee also refers to the remuneration that a lawyer should charge for his client's law firm. Since it is a reward, the lawyer's labor should be paid, which has nothing to do with the outcome of the lawsuit, except the lawyer's risk agency.

Risk agency refers to a special entrusted litigation agency between the entrusted agent and the parties. The client pays the agency fee less or not first, and after the execution of the case, the client pays a certain proportion of the executed creditor's rights to the agent as a reward.

If the case is lost or the execution fails, the agent will not get any return; If the creditor's rights are executed in place, the client will pay the agent in accordance with the agreed high proportion, which has certain risks for both parties, so it is called risk agency.
