The error of going out to hire a lawyer

As the legal concept of in-depth, citizens in the event of disputes, has been quite common to hire a lawyer. However, because some people's awareness of the law is not strong, to hire a lawyer to provide legal services in the process, often went into some errors.

Mistakes one: not with the law firm signed agency contracts. Some parties mistakenly believed that as long as the lawyer to hire a lawyer I can be reached by agreement, it was not necessary with the law firm commissioned by the signing of the contract. However, China's "lawyer", the parties hire lawyers, law firms must first be passed, the law firm signed with the principal-agent contract, clearly Acting matters, the Acting authority, agent for such matters, and accept the law firm assigned counsel for the His agent or the defence. If not a legal contract, in case of disputes agent authority, or the acts of their solicitors of the legitimate rights and interests of the parties, gave cause inconvenience to the settlement of the issue.

Mistakes two: the lawyer's authority authorized agent unclear. Authorized in the contract, agent permission to write clear, specific, not general is not written in clear, "plenipotentiaries", "legal representation", or "agent", "rights agent." The special agents, to each state. If the proxy authority unclear, a lawyer may be ultra vires agents, thereby endangering the agent's right of action.
