First, the client should sign an agency contract with the trustee, that is, the law firm. The client should pay attention: the trustee here is xx law firm, not the lawyer who handles the case specifically. Lawyers may not sign agency contracts with clients in their own names, but only law firms can entrust lawyers to handle the affairs entrusted by clients. An agency contract should generally include the following aspects: First, the trustee appoints a lawyer to handle the affairs entrusted by the client. (The lawyer is the lawyer chosen by the client himself, and the appointment of the law firm is only a formal approval); Second, the specific affairs entrusted by the client. Generally speaking, the specific performance is: "xx v. xx, the agent of the first instance procedure in the case of personal injury infringement dispute." Pay attention to the statement here, the litigation procedure includes: first trial, second trial and execution procedure, and some cases can enter the execution procedure without the second trial. In short, different procedures, lawyers bear different workload, the amount of agency fees will be different. Some clients may only notice that different lawyers provide different agency fees, but not the difference in the number of procedures; Third, the due diligence obligation of the trustee and the truthful disclosure obligation of the client; Fourth, the amount of agency fees, payment methods, payment time, the trustee's bank and account number, etc. Fifth, how to bear other expenses except agency fees. Including travel expenses, execution fees, case acceptance fees, preservation fees and so on. Sixth, the way and standard of completing the entrusted matters, and the handling of the client's termination of the entrustment. Usually, the principal-agent contract mainly includes these contents, but each law firm generally has its own principal-agent contract template, which is basically the same.
Second, the client signs the power of attorney. That is, in the process of handling the xx case, what kind of rights are entrusted by the entrusted lawyer. It usually includes general authorization and special authorization. General authorization only includes the collection of legal documents, while special authorization can include: prosecution, recognition, modification and abandonment of claims, reconciliation and mediation, counterclaim or appeal, withdrawal, preservation, execution and collection of enforcement funds. The power of attorney shall be signed or sealed by the client, and the special authorization shall not only write the words "special authorization", but also specify the contents of the special authorization, otherwise it shall be regarded as general authorization.
3. Submit a copy of the client's ID card (both sides should be copied) or a copy of the business license (preferably stamped with the seal of the company or other organizations), a copy of the organization code certificate, the identity certificate of the company's legal representative (stamped with the company seal) and several documents signed or sealed by the client, such as indictment, appeal, objection application and execution application. Among them, the attorney will prepare the power of attorney, agency contract, indictment, appeal and application for execution, and the client only needs to sign or seal the corresponding documents.
After completing the above three steps, the entrusted lawyer can conduct corresponding agency affairs on behalf of the client.
