Lawyer

Chapter 398 The ideal is very plump, the reality is very backbone

Zhou Ying and Tian Xin are two legal assistants in the litigation department. They are usually responsible for publishing case information in the business group, assisting lawyers in signing contracts, and preparing entrustment procedures. The work content is relatively trivial.

The entrustment procedures for civil cases are relatively simple and uniform, and only include those for legal persons and non-legal persons. However, criminal cases are different, and there are many kinds of entrustment procedures.

The documents used in the investigation stage, the documents used in the review and prosecution stage, and the documents used in the trial stage are different, and many lawyers are not very clear about the distinction, let alone non-legal persons.

If you go to the detention center for an interview early in the morning, but you are notified by the police that you have brought the wrong procedures and you are not allowed to meet, you say it is embarrassing or embarrassing, and it is not embarrassing.If the client finds out, they might call the lawyer useless in their hearts. This shows how important the work of Zhou Ying and Tian Xin is.

"I didn't work overtime, I discussed legal issues with my colleagues just now." Fang Yi said with a smile.

"Lawyer Fang, I'd like to ask you a few questions. I wonder if it's convenient for you." Tian Xin didn't know Fang Yi very well, so he was more polite when speaking.

Usually Zhou Ying and Tian Xin work with different lawyers, and Fang Yi is in charge of Zhou Ying, so although Tian Xin knows Fang Yi, he hasn't spoken much and is not too familiar.

"Say it!" Fang Yi looked at Tian Xin.

Tian Xin is a law graduate from a local university. She is tall and slender, and her facial features are well-proportioned, which belongs to the more attractive type (I have to say that the standards for selecting paralegals in big law firms are still quite high).The little girl is very clever and quick in handling things. The lawyers in the firm think highly of her.

In school, she was preoccupied with taking the public examination, so she didn't take the judicial examination, but she failed in the public examination. Last year, she came to the law firm to work as a paralegal.

Zhou Ying has been preparing for the departmental examination for the past two years. She took the examination last year, but she fell short of Sun Shan by one point.Encouraged by Zhou Ying, Tian Xin took the exam with her this year, and the two of them would review at the law firm after get off work, and didn't go back until after ten o'clock.

"That's right. I often hear from my teachers and classmates that to be a lawyer, especially when you're just starting out, you must be calm. The first three years will be very hard. After this stage, you can make a lot of money. I don't know if this is true?" Tian Xin blinked her big eyes and looked at Fang Yi, waiting for his answer.

Fang Yi was taken aback. He thought Tian Xin would ask some highly professional questions, but he didn't expect such a question from the other party.

"How should I put it! When I was in college, I also heard someone say that the most difficult thing is the first three years of practicing, but later I found out after practicing that this is not the case.

Some lawyers have worked as salaried lawyers for seven or eight years in order to make ends meet, and they want to go it alone after seeing other lawyers making a lot of money, but they find that they have to start from scratch (including talking about their case experience), and they have no cases to do. If you eat a full meal, you won't make any money at all.

There are also lawyers who chose to work alone at the beginning, and made a lot of money in two or three years.I concluded that the key point is not the practice time, but the source of the lawyer's case.

The source of the case will not come to you just because you are a lawyer, nor will you come to curry favor with you because you have practiced for five or six years, have done many cases, and have some experience. There are not a few lawyers who have food and clothing problems.

So I think that lawyers who have a case source and are lucky don't need to consider the length of practice time. There are many people who can make a lot of money after entering the industry.For those lawyers who have no resources and are not very lucky, even if they have practiced for more than ten years, what can they do? They are not worried about the source of cases every day. To put it an exaggeration, every year is the "first three years of practice".

Most of what you said was heard from an old lawyer, but now the times have changed, and the good words of gold and jade more than ten years ago may not be useful now.The market has changed, and now is not an era where you can make a lot of money with qualifications. "Fang Yi thought for a while, and decided to tell this unprofessional colleague the most real situation.

"That's it!" Zhou Ying said in surprise, her mouth opened into an o shape.

"Hey! It seems that the legal industry we learned in school is quite different from the real legal industry." Tian Xin nodded.

"Lawyer Fang, do you think the non-litigation business or the litigation business makes more money, and which one is better?

I often hear the non-litigation team lawyers in our firm say that they are doing big projects and earning tens of millions of legal fees. Is it true that non-litigation is really high?Why doesn't the boss build a non-litigation team in our team? Zhou Ying glanced around and asked in a low voice.

"Whether our team builds a non-litigation team or not, I can't talk too much. But it's really hard for me to say which one is more profitable, and which one is better.

You can see that the non-litigation team can make millions, or even tens of millions, by doing an IPO project, but you know, the legal fees for litigation cases are also millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions.For a simple creditor's rights litigation case, lawyers represent all risks, and the lawyer's fee exceeds tens of millions.

So that kind of business is more profitable and superior, I really can’t say, but if you want to do non-litigation business in the industry, I suggest you do litigation business for a few years first, get more exposure to negative information from society, and have a better understanding After the nature of the risk is identified, non-complaints may be able to get twice the result with half the effort. "

"Which lawyer, do you think relationship or professional ability is more important? For lawyers." Zhou Ying asked.Tian Xin also opened her eyes wide and looked at Fang Yi.

Fang Yi smiled and thought to himself: Why do these two little guys have so many questions! 1000 million why!

"It's inappropriate to use others as an example, so I'll just speak out. I'm a doctor of criminal law from the University of Law. Past cases have already illustrated the problem.

But I'm still on the boss's team, not a salaried lawyer, but at least making a living off of the cases in the firm, that's a fact.From time to time, my old customers and related customers will also introduce some business to me.

So I think both professional ability and relationship are very important.Professional ability can support you to accept cases, make clients trust you, and relationship can help you attract more cases.The two are complementary and indispensable.

Don't think that you can make a lot of money with a good professional level or a good relationship. This is extremely unscientific. Professional ability and relationship are like the two legs of a lawyer. If something goes wrong, the lawyer will feel uncomfortable.

This is why it is said that a good lawyer is a social activist. "Fang Yi explained.

"Okay, it's getting late, if you ask any more questions, I'll charge you a consulting fee!" Fang Yi joked.

Zhou Ying and Tian Xin laughed along with embarrassment.
