When accepting the entrustment, a law firm shall fully disclose the relevant information of lawyer's service fee to the client, sign a lawyer's service fee contract with the client or specify the terms of the fee in the agency 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.
After signing a contract with the client, the law firm shall not unilaterally change the charging items or the amount of fees. If it is really necessary to change, both parties shall reach an agreement through consultation and re-sign a written agreement. Conventional charges refer to the level of litigation procedures, that is, the system of "second instance and final adjudication", that is, litigation is divided into first instance and second instance, and the first instance litigation is the first instance.
Matters needing attention
If one party refuses to accept the judgment or ruling of the first instance, it may file a second instance, and the judgment of the second instance is final. Generally, no lawsuit can be filed. Lump-sum charge refers to taking charge of the case to the end after charging the fee, that is, charging the fee only once, and being responsible for the first trial, second trial and execution. The charging standard is appropriately raised on the basis of the first-instance charge in the conventional charging.
Risk charge means that only a small amount of fees are charged before the execution of judgment, mediation and settlement, and higher fees are charged after winning the case or executing the payment. Lawyers shall collect fees in the name of the law firm where they work, and shall not collect lawyers' fees without permission. Lawyer's fees are different from the funds for handling cases, and the necessary expenses for lawyers to handle entrusted affairs must still be borne by the client. Such as transportation, accommodation, and judicial expertise fees.
