Do you want to know how a paid law firm works, or how lawyers handle cases? Salary-based law firms generally adopt corporate management. Law firms divide lawyers into different business departments in addition to the administrative department, such as corporate business department, real estate business department, marriage and inheritance business department, non-litigation department, etc. Each lawyer belongs to a different department and generally has a basic salary (usually very low). Then when a case comes, it is assigned to different departments according to departmental division of labor. The case is handled by a team, and attorney fees are charged in the end. According to the requirements of the law firm, part of it will be used as a commission for the team. How much commission each lawyer will receive is generally divided by the team leader based on your workload and contribution to the case.
If it is a lawyer's process, different lawyers have different methods. Of course, it is generally necessary to first go to the parties to understand the case, and then analyze the legal relationship to find the best solution, which does not necessarily involve litigation. I'm also weak in this area. I'm studying and can only answer you so much.
