Can administrative litigation fees become risk agents?

Legal analysis: No, according to China's Measures for the Administration of Lawyers' Charge Service, risk agency is not allowed in four types of cases, namely administrative litigation, criminal litigation, state compensation and group litigation cases. It is illegal for lawyers to act as risk agents in these four types of cases. It is likely to be punished by the lawyers association.

Legal basis: Article 12 of the Measures for the Administration of Lawyers' Service Fees in People's Republic of China (PRC) prohibits the implementation of risk agency fees in criminal litigation cases, administrative litigation cases, state compensation cases and group litigation cases. Article 14 A law firm shall strictly implement the management measures and charging standards for lawyers' service fees formulated by the competent pricing department in conjunction with the judicial administrative department at the same level.
