The parties themselves must actively cooperate with the lawyers and provide evidence and materials that they have and can collect, so that the lawyers can fully understand the case and be fully prepared for litigation.
For some evidence that requires a lawyer to obtain or that is inconvenient for the parties themselves to obtain, a lawyer can be entrusted to investigate on their behalf, such as the other party’s property, vehicles, bank accounts and other information.
"Lawyers Law"
Article 35: Based on the needs of the case, the entrusted lawyer may apply to the People's Procuratorate or the People's Court to collect and obtain evidence, or apply to the People's Court to notify witnesses to appear in court to testify.
If a lawyer investigates and collects evidence on his own, he can submit it to the unit or individual related to the legal matter under investigation with his lawyer's practicing certificate and law firm certificate.
