Lawyer

Chapter 251 This is the rhythm of going out!
Recently, Wang Deyou has been a little troubled. The legal consultant contract of the large enterprise he served before has expired. He thought he had served well and he would renew the contract, but in the end, the large enterprise was replaced by a top three large enterprise Law firm lawyers poached.

It is said that the legal fee of the newly signed legal consultant contract is much higher than that of Weimin Law Firm, but in fact the service is provided by a paralegal, who does not even see the lawyer on weekdays.

Afterwards, Wang Deyou once asked the general manager of the legal department of that large enterprise insinuatingly. The general manager gave him the answer that the newly signed legal consultant had a relationship with the group boss. In fact, the legal department was not very satisfied with the new legal consultant. , the assistant to the legal counsel who was in contact with them on weekdays was far inferior to Wang Deyou in terms of experience and professional ability.But there is something to do with others, there is no way!

The general manager's words woke up Wang Deyou like a pot of cold water. It turns out that no matter how good professional ability is, it is not as good as relationships. This is true.No wonder old lawyers often say that lawyers with strong professional ability do not necessarily do well, and lawyers who do well do not necessarily have strong professional ability. It turns out that resources are the key to doing well.

It has been nearly a year since Wang Deyou came to Weimin Law Firm, and he is very clear about the situation in the firm. There are seven lawyers in total, three of them are partners and four are salaried lawyers.

In the past two years, Weimin Law Firm's annual income was only about [-] million yuan, which sounds like a lot, but in fact it was barely able to maintain itself.Later, the director of the law firm spent a lot of effort to attract the large enterprise that Wang Deyou served, and the income of the law firm only increased.

The business in the firm is all brought in by the three partners. Now that there are no major clients, and the firm has not developed a new large-scale consulting unit, it is all supported by trivial cases. Wang Deyou feels that his future is slim.

In fact, most small law firms are in this state, barely maintaining, and not as profitable as imagined.However, some law firms don’t recruit lawyers, and they don’t care about the scale. Just one person or three partners spend some money every year to anchor an address (just like investors spend some money to anchor a virtual address to start a company), and then add a The bag carries the official seal, and picks up business everywhere like a fairy, a proper leather bag company.But the cost is low, earning a fortune is a fortune, and living a small life is quite good.

On the contrary, small and medium-sized law firms like Weimin Law Firm have a small scale. Every year, partners have to consider rent and staff costs, and work hard to develop new case sources, but they always want to expand the scale and squeeze out lawyers' wool all year round. The heart is tired, and the body is also tired.Everyone's heart is higher than the sky, and their lives are better than paper. If they don't get the blessing of God, they can only suffer.

On this day, Wang Deyou, who was bored, was called to the conference room by the administrator and personnel specialist.

"Lawyer Wang, you see that you have been practicing law for several years, and your ability to practice is obvious to all. Let's use Weimin Law Firm as a platform. In fact, that's it, and it can't provide much help for your development. As a lawyer, in the end You must be independent. Only by being a commission lawyer can you make a lot of money.

Right now, the big client you serve is not renewing the contract, and your salaried lawyer contract will expire next month. I wonder if you have any plans?Why don't you become a commission lawyer instead? "The administrative and personnel specialist said with an expression of "I'm doing it for you".

Although Wang Deyou had a premonition that this day would come sooner or later, he still felt a little overwhelmed when it did come.

"As a commission lawyer, I don't have a source of cases. I wonder if the firm can assign some cases to me?" Wang Deyou hesitated.

Wang Deyou felt that there were no major clients in the firm, and there were still cases to be handled. Although the fees for cases were lower, they were still better than those in the county. It was not a problem to be a salaried lawyer, but after hearing the words of the administrative and personnel specialist, His heart went cold.This is the rhythm of sweeping the floor out!

At the time of the interview, the administrative and human resource officer boasted that Weimin Law Firm had nothing to lose. "Buy a car in one year, buy a house in two years, and reach the pinnacle of life in three years." Wang Deyou did not fabricate this statement out of thin air.But now...

"For the time being, the firm really can't give you much help, and the existing salaried lawyers are not saturated with workload, you know that.

In fact, it was difficult for everyone at first.As long as you survive the first one or two years, it will be fine slowly.Look at the director of our office. When he first became independent, it was miserable. He wished he could be blocked by the landlord every month to collect debts. Don't you think he has survived now?

You also know that our firm's cases and perennial legal counsel units are brought in by the director and two partners.This year our firm's business is not very good, we can't support so many salaried lawyers...

To put it bluntly, besides you, there is another salaried lawyer who is going to become a commission lawyer. "The administrative and personnel specialist said helplessly.

Having said all this, Wang Deyou looked disappointed, he didn't know what to say, there was no business in the firm, and the partners were also anxious.It seems that I can only become a commission lawyer, give it a try.

……

Liu Qiaoling's case was finally entrusted to Fang Yi, but the lawyer's fee was not [-] as previously negotiated, but [-], which was the result of Xie Youhe's final negotiation.

Because Liu Qiaoling came from Fang Yi, who asked Fang Yi to represent her case by name, so Gu Datong finally defined this case as Fang Yi's personal case, not a team case, and the lawyer's fee was split fifty-fifty. In addition to Fang Yi paying his own Apart from tax, nothing else matters.

Large law firms are always very good at recruiting lawyers, just like those well-known large companies, not only the treatment is good, the platform is large, and they also have face when speaking out, and they also have knowledge of many types of business. You can introduce business to each other, exchange information, and introduce business that you are not good at to colleagues.

After several rounds of interviews, the litigation team of Gu Datong's team finally gathered three lawyers. The new male lawyer, surnamed Li, is a master of law from a well-known university. He is about [-] years old and just joined the job a few days ago. .

On this day, Fang Yi came back from the consulting unit in the morning, picked up the teacup and drank a few big mouthfuls, and suddenly found that the desk behind him was empty, and the newly-acquired office supplies were still on the table, but there were no personal items such as cups up.

"Old Xie, is the new lawyer Li on a business trip?" Fang Yi turned and looked at Xie Youhe.

"No, lawyer Li resigned. When you went to the consulting unit yesterday afternoon, he proposed to resign and left this morning." Xie Youhe put down the case materials in his hand and replied.

"Resigned?" Fang Yi was a little surprised.

Although the treatment of Gu Datong's team is not the best, it is not too bad. Lawyer Li left just a few days after he arrived. Fang Yi speculated that it should not be a problem with the treatment.
