Lawyer

Chapter 238 Legal Migrant Workers
While talking, the two came to the workstation by the window. At this moment, a thin male lawyer in his 50s was sitting at the workstation, drinking tea from a large teacup, and staring at a document in his hand.The desk was full of file materials, in a mess.

"Lawyer Xie, do you always drink tea?" Mei Xiaoting said softly, half jokingly.

"What I'm saying is that I'm studying the case files carefully. Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, it will kill people!" Xie Youhe said while putting down the materials in his hand.

"Come on, you've been staring at this document for almost an hour, and the water in your teacup has been refilled twice, so you're not too tired! Besides, the playing cards are not here, so what are you afraid of?" Mei Xiaoting said. The face said in a low voice of disdain.

"I..., who is this?" Xie Youhe raised his head to teach Mei Xiaoting a few words, when he suddenly saw Fang Yi behind her, he immediately got up and asked solemnly.

"This is lawyer Fang Yifang, who is good at litigation. He just joined our team. Boss Gu asked me to bring lawyer Fang over to meet everyone. By the way, there is a dinner party in the evening, so you should eat less at noon." Mei Xiaoting said with a smile .

"Litigation! Good! I, Xie Youhe, also focuses on litigation. Lawyer Fang, we will help each other and cooperate more." Xie Youhe heard that Fang Yi is a lawyer in litigation. Instead of showing any rejection, Xie Youhe Very enthusiastic.

Fang Yi sighed in his heart, the lawyers in the big law firm are not ordinary, look at Xie You and the lawyers, how enthusiastic they are, they are not afraid at all that I will snatch his business and earn a commission.It's just... the words "help" and "cooperate" feel a little strange!

Fang Yi's workstation was arranged next to Xie Youhe's to facilitate communication.It was the first time I sat in such a large workstation, and it seemed a little empty. There were computers, phones, folders and office supplies on the table, and there was a small cabinet under the table with keys in the drawer.

Mei Xiaoting took some team documents for Fang Yi, and let Fang Yi familiarize himself with the team's requirements and commission methods.It doesn't matter whether you read other documents or not. You must read the commission method of the case (project), which involves personal interests.

For cases where the lawyer’s fee is less than 20 yuan, the lead lawyer’s commission is 20%. If the lawyer’s fee exceeds 50 yuan, the commission will be reduced by [-]% for every [-] yuan. For cases exceeding [-] yuan, the commission will be discussed separately.

In addition, if the lawyer's fee is less than 1 yuan, the lawyer's commission for each case is [-] yuan. Fang Yi understands that this is forcing lawyers not to accept those cases with low lawyer's fee and to focus their limited energy on cases with high lawyer's fee.

The commission of the assistant lawyer is calculated in the same way as the commission of the lead lawyer, except that the commission of less than 20 yuan becomes 5.00%, and the commission of the assistant lawyer is not paid for cases with a lawyer’s fee of less than [-] yuan. Of course, simple cases do not need an assistant lawyer.

At noon, lawyer Sima did not come back, and Mei Xiaoting, who was sitting at the first desk, ran over and asked everyone if they wanted to order food or go out to eat.

Zhou Yunyuan was busy writing the due diligence report, took out a box of instant noodles from the drawer of the small table under the workstation, shook it at Mei Xiaoting, and went straight to making instant noodles.He wants to hurry up and write the report while the instant noodles are fully exposed to hot water, moistened, softened, swollen and fattened.

Xie Youhe claimed that he ate too much in the morning and stopped eating at noon. Fang Yi speculated that he was waiting for the big meal in the evening.

Resting for an hour and a half at noon, Fang Yi originally wanted to go back to his residence to make lunch and take a nap after eating, but seeing that no one went out to eat, Mei Xiaoting looked disappointed, so he stood up and asked her to go out for dinner.

In fact, Fang Yi kept his selfish intentions. He wanted to take advantage of lunch time to chat and inquire about the situation of the team. Some things were invisible on the surface, and the most authentic information was communicated in private.

Fang Yi originally wanted to invite Mei Xiaoting to lunch, but Mei Xiaoting declined, probably because the two of them are not familiar, so I am ashamed to let Fang Yi treat them, the two of them ate a meal at the fast food restaurant downstairs.

"Lawyer Mei, what does our team do for non-litigation business?" Fang Yi asked.

In his concept, there are many kinds of non-litigation businesses, such as going public, and small ones such as reviewing legal documents, some of which make money and others are time-consuming and labor-intensive.

"Our team's non-litigation business is mainly bond issuance, as well as investment due diligence. Yesterday, Boss Gu and Lawyer Zhou just returned from investment due diligence in other provinces and are rushing to report.

Lawyer Sima and I are in charge of a bond issuance project, and we came back from other provinces last week.In short, all kinds of busy, carrying suitcases on business trips all year round, the time in the office is limited. "Mei Xiaoting said after taking a sip of the free egg soup.

"Fei-litigation should make a lot of money, right? If you run outside all year, does Lawyer Gu have time to develop litigation business?" Fang Yi asked suspiciously.

"How should I put it..., the non-litigation business was quite profitable before. Boss Gu has cooperated with investment companies, but now it is getting worse. There are more lawyers and more law firms. The price is lowered by each other. The investment in a project is as low as possible. The lawyer's fee has been reduced from 10 yuan to the current 5 yuan, but there is a lot of work, and I have to help clients write agreements. Do you think they can make money! Pure legal migrant workers.

In the past two years, non-litigation business has been difficult to do. In order to generate income for the team, they began to accept litigation cases. Lawyer Xie and Mr. Gu were old friends, and Mr. Gu hired him from another law firm to be responsible for the litigation business.This year, the litigation business has gradually improved, and there are more cases, so I started to recruit lawyers who are good at litigation.

I heard that in addition to you, another litigation lawyer will be recruited. The litigation department of the team is equipped with three people as standard, and Xie Laokou will be in charge. "Mei Xiaoting said.

"Oh, it seems that Lawyer Gu wants to file a lawsuit, and the lawsuit goes hand in hand, so that both sides bloom!" Fang Yi smiled.

"Well, it's about the same. Don't think that our team has many people. In fact, our team is among the top three in terms of size. Loose association, no one cares about anyone, get together when there is money to earn, and go back to each family if there is no money to earn, and each find their own livelihood." Mei Xiaoting said.

"That Lawyer Sima doesn't seem to be very talkative..." Fang Yi asked casually.

"Lawyer Sima is very professional. When the team was established, she was the assistant of Boss Gu. She has made it to today step by step. She is the second-in-command of our team in the case of non-complaints. I have been doing business with her for the past two years.

Her life is basically work, and work is the whole of her life, and her husband divorced because he couldn't bear it.She is very strict with Lawyer Zhou and me. I have been scolded by her a lot, but working with her for two years has taught me a lot more than I did in the past.

Why!To be honest, she is the first thing everyone thinks of when working, and she is in charge of the project, so everyone can rest assured.Speaking of other things... the whole firm, except Boss Gu, no one wants to deal with her. "Mei Xiaoting said.

　I wish book friends a happy new year!happy New Year!
