Lawyer's fee refers to the remuneration that a lawyer should receive for handling legal affairs for his client. Since it is a reward, the lawyer's labor should be paid, which has nothing to do with the outcome of the lawsuit, except the lawyer's risk agency.
Lawyer's risk agency, that is, people say "spend money first" and then "pay the bill", the parties transfer all the risk of losing the case to the attorney, and once they lose the case, the parties have the right to refuse to pay the lawyer's agency fee; If the attorney wins the lawsuit, he can get several times or even ten times more profits than the ordinary agent.
The emergence of risk agency has formed a more effective restrictive relationship between the parties and entrusted lawyers, avoiding the "illegal" operation of lawyers and not taking money to do things.
At present, there is no explicit provision for lawyers to carry out risk agency business in China, that is, "no restriction, no promotion".
