I. Overview of the charging mode of risk lawyers
The charging mode of risk agent lawyer is a special charging mode, and its core feature is that the lawyer's remuneration is closely related to the successful outcome of the case.

This mode is common in some complicated civil and commercial cases.
Second, the risk lawyers charge 10% fee rationality analysis

However, for cases with small compensation or low probability of winning, the ratio of 10% may be too high, which is not conducive to protecting the legitimate rights and interests of the parties.
