The power of attorney must first specify the identity of the client, and entrust the lawyer or law firm to appoint the lawyer. Then, the reason for the delegation should be explained. In the power of attorney, you can only write the undertaking lawyer instead of the law firm, because the power of attorney is a subordinate document, a subsidiary clause of the entrustment contract, and it is for the lawyer, that is, for the law firm.
Secondly, it is necessary to clarify the agency authority of the agent, that is, to stipulate the scope of affairs that the lawyer can handle on his behalf. This part can be classified as narrative or general. Lawyers should be given different agency rights for different entrusted affairs. If a lawyer is entrusted to act as an agent in civil litigation, it can be clearly stated that the agent's authority is to investigate and collect evidence, participate in court hearings, write legal documents, appeal and counterclaim. If summarized, it can only be written as a sole agent or general agent.
Finally, the rights of the parties to admit, give up, change their claims, settle, file counterclaims or appeal must be specifically authorized in addition to full authorization. That is, the power of attorney must specify the grant of the above rights. Otherwise, the court will handle it without this authorization. If an agent is entrusted in the hearing procedure, a lawyer may be entrusted as an agent according to the specific characteristics of the hearing work. To be on the safe side, you can also grant some permissions first, and then authorize them as needed as the work progresses. But generally speaking, everything can be listed in the authorization, and the language exposure is accurate and unambiguous, which is convenient for operation and reduces disputes.
