The difference between lawyers, consultants and lawyers

Legal analysis: the biggest advantage of external lawyers lies in their strong independence. Unlike corporate legal consultants, they belong to enterprises, and many things cannot be viewed objectively, so they are more restricted by corporate leaders. Moreover, corporate legal counsel does not need to have lawyer qualification or judicial qualification. The pay is also different. Corporate legal counsel is paid, and external lawyers charge consulting fees or agency fees. Legal basis: Measures for the Administration of Lawyers' Service Fees
