1. Is the lawyer's fee paid first or later?
1. It is ok to pay the lawyer's fees first or later, because it is determined through consultation between both parties. The normal entrustment is to pay first and go through the entrustment procedures. If you are a risk agent, you must go through the formalities first and then pay after winning the case. If you lose the lawsuit, you won't lose. However, risk agents should charge higher fees. Usually 10% or more.
As for whether the lawyer's fee should be paid first or later, there is no clear stipulation in laws and regulations, which is determined by the parties and lawyers through consultation. In practice, it can be agreed to pay legal fees in advance; You can also choose to pay afterwards; You can also choose to pay part first and part later.
When a law firm accepts a client's entrustment to appoint a lawyer to handle a case, it will negotiate the lawyer's agency fee, case handling fee and other matters in the agency contract, and implement the lawyer's relevant charging standards and payment methods according to the agreement, usually in proportion to the target amount. Generally speaking, the lawyer's agency fee needs to be paid when signing the contract or within a few days after signing the contract.
2, but in line with the risk agency, that is to say, the lawyer only charges a low basic fee when accepting the entrustment, and the rest of the service remuneration is agreed in advance by the lawyer and the client on the purpose, effect, time, proportion and requirements of paying the lawyer's service fee. In line with the agreed requirements, the fees shall be paid as agreed; If the agreed requirements cannot be met, no more fees will be paid. In short, the charging method is determined by the lawyer and the client according to the specific situation.
There are two ways to pay the lawyer's fee. One is to pay the lawyer when signing the contract, and pay in proportion. All localities have formulated detailed methods for charging lawyers. One is to pay after the litigation procedure is over, which belongs to the risk agency and has a higher charging standard.
Whether the specific lawyer's fee is paid before or after the court session, the parties can negotiate with the lawyer. Generally speaking, the lawyer's professional standard determines whether the lawyer's fee is paid first or later. If the lawyer is professionally responsible, he can pay in advance. If he is worried about the success or failure of the lawsuit, he can pay half the fee first and part of the fee after the trial.
