Company's requirements for legal affairs and lawyers

1. An enterprise may employ one lawyer or two or more lawyers as legal advisers as required.

2. Enterprises can also hire lawyers as permanent or temporary legal advisers as needed. The term of office of a permanent legal adviser is not stipulated by law and can be determined by both parties through consultation, but it is generally not less than 1 year.

3. Enterprises should apply to law firms when hiring lawyers, instead of directly applying to individual lawyers. The law firm accepts the employment of the employer, signs a contract to hire legal counsel, clarifies the rights and obligations of both parties, and appoints lawyers as legal advisers of the employer. The hired lawyer represents the law firm to perform the contract with the employing unit, remains a member of the law firm, and accepts the leadership and supervision of the law firm according to law.
