A legal consulting company can represent litigation cases, but if the business scope of the company involves a business license, it needs to apply for relevant administrative license documents, and the company must have a professional lawyer who has obtained a lawyer license.
Judicial practice has found that in personal injury cases, many legal consulting companies or individuals pretend to be lawyers, take the initiative to hand out business cards with the names of lawyers or paralegals, communicate with the injured parties, and promise to ensure their disability and win the case, so as to gain the trust of the parties. We should be cautious about this. At the same time, the judge reminded that the court will not treat cases with or without agents differently. In case of disputes, the masses can participate in the litigation in person. If they need to entrust an agent ad litem, they should choose an agent ad litem on the formal platform to protect their legitimate rights and interests.
To sum up, when entrusting others to represent the lawsuit, a power of attorney signed or sealed by the client must be submitted to the people's court. The power of attorney must specify the entrusted matters and authority. An agent ad litem must have the special authorization of the client, and can admit, waive or change the claim, make a settlement, file a counterclaim or appeal on his behalf.
Legal basis:
People's Republic of China (PRC) Lawyers Law
Article 13 stipulates that
A person who has not obtained a lawyer's practice certificate may not engage in legal services in the name of a lawyer. Ordinary people usually lack legal knowledge and have weak litigation ability. When they encounter disputes, they often rush to seek medical treatment, which is easy for opportunistic companies and individuals to take advantage of.
