Legal analysis: in the case of being sued by the other party, the lawyer's fee shall be paid by the other party. For both parties in civil litigation activities, hiring a lawyer belongs to the scope of free choice of the parties, and the expenses are generally borne by the employer alone. According to the principle of freedom of contract, as long as both parties agree in the contract that the lawyer's fee shall be borne by the losing party, the lawsuit request about lawyer's fee will generally be supported in prosecution or arbitration. Therefore, when drawing up a contract, both parties to the contract can list the lawyer's fees as compensation for breach of contract, and even specify the way and standard of bearing the lawyer's fees in detail.
Legal basis: Article 9 of the Measures for the Administration of Lawyers' Service Fees shall be determined by the law firm through consultation with the client. Law firms should consider the following main factors when negotiating the fees for lawyer services with clients: (1) working hours spent; (two) the difficulty of legal affairs; (3) the client's affordability; (4) Risks and responsibilities that lawyers may bear; (5) The lawyer's social reputation and working level.
