Can a lawyer investigate a case?

Lawyers are not allowed to investigate the case. After accepting the entrustment or assignment, a lawyer can understand the case and provide legal services to the parties.

Article 25 of China's Lawyers Law clearly stipulates the content and scope of legal services provided by lawyers to the society:

(a) Acting as a legal adviser;

(2) Acting as an agent ad litem;

(3) Being a criminal defender;

(4) Acting as a non-litigation agent and participating in mediation and arbitration;

(5) Answering legal advice and writing legal documents, etc. In order to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the parties and the correct implementation of the law.
