Who will pay the legal fees for the lawsuit?

Legal analysis: the lawyer's fee is paid by the party who invites the lawyer. However, in civil and commercial cases, when one party becomes the defendant, if a lawyer is hired to defend it, and the plaintiff wins the case (the law supports one party to repay the necessary expenses paid by the other party for the trial of the case), the plaintiff may be required to pay this fee.

Legal basis: Article 16 of the Measures for the Administration of Lawyers' Service Fees. When accepting the entrustment, a law firm shall sign a contract with the client for charging lawyer services, or stipulate the charging terms in the entrustment contract. The charging contract or charging terms shall include: charging items, charging standards, charging methods, charging amounts, payment and settlement methods, dispute settlement methods, etc.
