Can the application for freezing and unsealing be signed by a lawyer?

no problem

You can entrust a lawyer, but first you need to see whether it involves criminal or civil cases.

Legal basis: Article 9 19 of the Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC) is a contract in which the client and the trustee agree that the trustee shall handle the client's affairs. Article 922 The agent shall handle the entrusted affairs in accordance with the instructions of the principal. If it is necessary to change the client's instructions, it shall be approved by the client; If it is difficult to get in touch with the client due to an emergency, the agent shall properly handle the entrusted affairs, but shall report the situation to the client in time afterwards.
