Can I hire a lawyer from other places?

You can hire foreign lawyers, and according to the law, lawyers can practice across countries and regions. It is suggested that when entrusting a lawyer, you should personally sign an agency contract at the lawyer's practice institution as far as possible, and check the lawyer's practice certificate to confirm your lawyer's identity.

Article 58 of the Civil Procedure Law stipulates that the parties and their legal representatives may entrust one or two persons as agents ad litem.

The following persons may be entrusted as agents ad litem:

(1) Lawyers and grassroots legal service workers;

(2) Close relatives or staff members of the parties concerned;

(three) citizens recommended by the community, units and relevant social groups where the parties are located.

Article 10 of the Lawyers Law: A lawyer can only practice in one law firm. A lawyer who changes his practice institution shall apply for a new lawyer's practice certificate.

Matters needing attention in entrusting a lawyer from a different place:

1, understand the organization.

A law firm is a lawyer's practice organization. Please ask the lawyer to go to the law firm to know the practice organization where the lawyer is located. Because the Lawyers Law stipulates that if a lawyer practices illegally or causes losses to his client due to his fault, his law firm shall be liable for compensation.

2. Sign the agreement.

When hiring a lawyer, a written agreement should be signed to clarify the rights and obligations of both parties. In particular, we should not take the cost of hiring a lawyer lightly. Be sure to make it clear how much the lawsuit will win or lose, and how much the first and second trials will cost respectively. We must make it clear in the agreement that we need a receipt when we pay.

3. The authorization should be clear.

Some parties fill in the power of attorney when hiring a lawyer, but the scope of authorization is not clear. I think as long as I pay the lawyer, everything will be handled by the lawyer. Therefore, some parties do not appear in court at all, do not understand the progress of the case, and the results of handling the case are not clear. Who knows, due to the legal consequences of unclear authorization, the licensor is responsible.
