After determining the lawyer you need, according to legal provisions, you should sign an entrustment contract with the lawyer's law firm, that is, an entrustment-agency agreement. This agreement will clarify the relationship between you and the lawyer. The agency relationship between a firm and a specific attorney and sets forth your respective rights and obligations. Law firms usually provide you with a fixed-form agency agreement, and you just need to determine the content of the agreement based on your specific situation and fill in the blanks of the agreement. Of course, this is never as easy as it sounds, and blank contracts provided by law firms will often leave out issues that are very important to you, and worse, you are likely to ignore them when you sign the contract. A formal employment agreement generally contains many clauses. Here are some substantive points that you may need to pay attention to: (1) What is the employment fee? 2) What should the entrusted lawyer do for you? How to ensure the lawyer's efficiency and due diligence? (5) What fees should you pay? What is the calculation and payment method for each fee? How to save money on the lawyer's work. Is it possible to make a preliminary estimate of the total fee? (6) What responsibilities should the parties bear if they fail to perform their obligations? How to determine the breach of contract by the parties? (7) Under what circumstances do you or the law firm have the right to terminate the contract, and what are the consequences? (8) How to handle disputes? Beyond that, any issues you think are important can be raised and negotiated with the law firm to have them written into the contract. In fact, in many cases, the blank contract sent to you by the law firm should already contain all the important contents mentioned above. At this time, you need to pay attention to whether the contract terms are accurate, specific and complete. Firstly, any vague wording on the substantive issues could cause you to lose money, so avoid using words such as "in principle" and "as far as possible" unless you really do not value the specific rights involved in these words. Second, any formulation of rights and obligations should be specific. For example, regarding the fee regulations, I am afraid it is not appropriate to generally require you to pay all the fees related to the case. At least you have the right to know which fees are related to the case, and the standard for determining the amount is to ensure that the lawyer can do the best possible job in handling the case. Save money. Finally, as far as the completeness of the contract is concerned, if you are really not sure, you might as well try this simple method: find out all the provisions of the contract terms regarding your obligations, and determine whether the other party also has corresponding provisions. obligations to balance every right he has, and if not, then the contract may be somewhat disadvantageous to you.
