Article 3 of the Guiding Standard of Yunnan Province for Lawyers' Service Fees: Lawyers' service fees can be based on different service contents and different service methods, including fixed fees, piece-rate fees, proportional fees, hourly fees and risk agency fees. Used alone or in combination. (1) Fixed fee refers to the lawyer's service fee charged for providing daily legal services to clients within a certain period of time. (2) Piece-by-piece charging refers to the pricing method of charging lawyers' service fees according to the specified amount or within the specified scope, range and limit, with each entrusted legal service or each legal service stage as the basic unit. Piece-by-piece fees are generally applicable to legal affairs that do not involve property relations, or involve property relations, but only determine fees according to workload and work content without considering property value, such as book agents and special non-litigation legal services that are not suitable for charging lawyer fees according to the target amount. (3) Charging according to the proportion of the bid amount refers to the pricing method of charging the lawyer's service fee according to a certain proportion according to the disputed bid amount of the case, the items involved in the disputed bid amount and the transaction amount.

If the fee is charged by the hour, the law firm shall fill in the work log in time, issue a work list to the client and negotiate with the parties. (5) Risk agency fee refers to the way in which a law firm only charges a certain amount of basic service fee (or agrees not to charge basic service fee) when accepting entrustment, and the rest of the service fee is paid according to the agreed amount or proportion according to the realization of objectives and effects, as well as the time, proportion, conditions and methods of paying lawyer's service fee. Risk agency is not allowed in the following situations: 1, where there is a government-guided price; 2, the implementation of government-guided administrative litigation cases; 3. Marriage and inheritance cases; 4. Group cases.
