Recently, Wang Deyou was a little troubled, the legal counsel contract of the large enterprise he served before expired, and he originally thought that his service was good and people would renew the contract, but in the end, the large enterprise was poached by the lawyer of one of the top three large law firms in the city.

It is said that the lawyer's fee for the newly signed legal counsel contract is much higher than that of Weimin Law Firm, but in fact the service is provided by a paralegal, and the lawyer is not even seen in person on weekdays.

Afterwards, Wang Deyou asked the general manager of the legal department of the large enterprise, and the general manager replied to him that the newly signed legal counsel had taken the relationship with the group president, but in fact, the legal department was not very satisfied with the new legal counsel, and the assistant of the legal counsel who was connected with them on weekdays was far inferior to Wang Deyou in terms of experience and professional ability. But people have a relationship, no way!

The general manager's words woke up Wang Deyou like a basin of cold water, it turns out that no matter how good his professional ability is, it can't be compared, this is true. It is no wonder that old lawyers often say that lawyers with strong professional ability are not necessarily good at mixing, and lawyers with good mixing are not necessarily good at mixing, and it turns out that resources are the key to mixing well.

Wang Deyou has been in Weimin Law Firm for nearly a year, and he is very clear about the situation in the firm, with a total of seven lawyers, three of whom are partners and four are salaried lawyers.

In the first two years, Weimin Law Firm's annual income was only about 2 million, which sounds like a lot, but in fact, it is barely maintained. Later, the director of the law firm took great pains to bring in the large enterprise that Wang Deyou served, and the income of the law firm came up.

The business of the firm is all brought in by the three partners, and now that the big customers are gone, and the firm has not developed a new large-scale consulting unit, it is all supported by some trivial small cases, Wang Deyou feels that his future is bleak.

In fact, most small law firms are in this state, barely maintaining, and they are not as profitable as they imagined. However, some law firms do not recruit lawyers, nor do they rush to scale, just one person or three partners, spend some money to attach to an address every year (just like an investor spends some money to set up a company at a virtual address), and then clip a bag with an official seal, like a fairy to take business around, a proper leather bag company. But the expensive thing is that the cost is low, making a sum of money is a lump sum, and living a small life is also very good.

On the contrary, small and medium-sized law firms like Weimin Law Firm are not large, and partners have to consider rent and staff costs every year, and work hard to develop new case sources, but they always want to expand the scale. The hearts of the top ones are higher than the sky, and their lives are higher than those of paper, and if they can't get the favor of God, they can only suffer their lives.

On this day, the bored Wang Deyou was called to the conference room by the administrative and personnel commissioner.

"Lawyer Wang, you see that you have also practiced law for several years, and your ability to practice law is obvious to all. Let's be a platform for the people's law firm, in fact, it is like this, and it will not provide much help to your development. To be a lawyer, you must be independent in the end, and you can only make a lot of money by being a commission lawyer.

At the moment, the big client you work for is not renewing the contract, and your salary lawyer contract will expire next month, I wonder if you have any plans? Why don't you become a commission lawyer instead? The administrative and personnel commissioner said with a "I'm good for you" expression.

Although Wang Deyou had a hunch that this day would come sooner or later, he still felt a little overwhelmed when it really came.

"As a commission lawyer, I don't have a case source, I don't know if the law firm can assign some cases to me?" Wang Deyou hesitated.

Wang Deyou felt that there were no big clients in the firm, and there were still cases to do, although the fees for the cases were lower, but they were better than in the county, and it was not a problem to be a salaried lawyer, but after listening to the words of the administrative and personnel commissioner, his heart was cold. This is the rhythm of sweeping the floor!

At the beginning, when the administrative and personnel commissioner was interviewed, he boasted that Weimin Law Firm had nothing to lose, "buy a car in one year, buy a house in two years, and reach the peak of life in three years", which was not fabricated by Wang Deyou out of thin air. Can ...... now

"For the time being, the firm really can't help you much, and the existing salaried lawyers are not saturated, as you know.

Actually, it was difficult for everyone at first. As long as you survive the first year or two, it's good to go. Look at the director of our firm, when he was independent at the beginning, it was a miserable one, and he couldn't wait to be blocked by the landlord to collect debts, don't you think he can survive now?

You also know that our case and the perennial legal counsel unit are all pulled by the director and two partners. This year, our business is not very good, and we can't support so many salaried lawyers......

To put it bluntly, in addition to you, there is also a salaried lawyer in the firm who wants to be turned into a commission lawyer. The administrative and personnel commissioner said helplessly.

When it came to this, Wang Deyou looked disappointed, he didn't know what to say, there was no business in the firm, and the partners were in a hurry. It seems that I can only change to a commission lawyer, so I gave it a try.

……

Liu Qiaoling's case was finally entrusted to Fang Yi, but the lawyer's fee was not 50,000 yuan as negotiated before, but 40,000 yuan, which was the result of Xie Youhe's final negotiation.

Because Liu Qiaoling came from Fang Yi and asked Fang Yi to represent her case, Gu Datong finally defined this case as Fang Yi's personal case source, not the team's case, the lawyer's fee is divided into five and a half accounts, and Fang Yi doesn't have to care about anything except paying his own personal income tax.

Large law firms are always very good at recruiting lawyers, just like those famous large companies, not only have good treatment, big platforms, and face when they speak out, but also have many types of business knowledge, and the most important thing is that peers within the law firm can introduce business to each other, communicate with each other, and introduce the business they are not good at to their colleagues.

After several rounds of interviews, the litigation business group of Gu Datong's team finally got together three lawyers, and the new male lawyer, surnamed Li, is a master of law from a well-known university, about 30 years old, and just joined the company a few days ago.

On this day, Fang Yi came back from the consulting unit in the morning, picked up the teacup and poured a few large sips, and suddenly turned his head to find that the workstation behind him was empty, and the newly received office supplies on the desktop were still there, but the personal items such as cups were all gone.

"Lao Xie, is the new lawyer Li on a business trip?" Fang Yi turned around and looked at Xie Youhe.

"No, Mr. Li resigned. When you went to the consulting unit yesterday afternoon, he mentioned his resignation, and he left this morning. Xie Youhe put down the case materials in his hand and replied.

"Resigned?" Fang Yi was a little surprised.

Although the treatment of Gu Datong's team is not the best, it is not so bad, lawyer Li left just a few days after he came, Fang Yi speculated that it should not be a problem of treatment.
