Chapter 238: Migrant Workers in Law

While they were talking, the two of them came to the workstation next to the window. At this moment, a male lawyer in his fifties and thin appearance was sitting at the workstation, holding a large teacup and drinking tea, staring at a document in his hand. The desktop was filled with case materials, and it was a mess.

"Lawyer Xie, are you always drinking tea?" Mei Xiaoting said softly half-jokingly.

"I'm saying this. I'm seriously studying the case file materials. 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 watching this document for almost an hour, and the water in the teacup has been renewed twice, so you don't feel tired! Besides, the playing cards are not here, what are you afraid of?" Mei Xiaoting whispered with disdain.

"I..., who is this?" Xie Youhe looked up and was about to educate Mei Xiaoting, but suddenly saw Fang Yi behind her, and immediately stood up seriously and asked.

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

"Litigation! OK! I, Xie Youhe, also focuses on litigation. In the future, we must help each other and cooperate more." Xie Youhe heard that Fang Yi is a lawyer who is a litigation. Not only did he show any rejection, he was extremely enthusiastic.

Fang Yi sighed in his heart that the lawyers in the large office are extraordinary. Look at how enthusiastic Xie You and the lawyers are, they are not afraid of me robbing his business and earning commissions. But... Why does the words "help" and "cooperation" feel a bit strange?

Fang Yi's work station was arranged next to Xie Youhe for communication. The first time I sat in such a large work station seemed a little empty, with computers, phones, folders and office supplies on the table, a small cabinet under the table, and a key on the drawer.

Mei Xiaoting gave Fang Yi some team documents to make Fang Yi familiar with the team's requirements and commission methods. It doesn't matter whether you read other documents or not. The commission methods for cases (projects) must be read, and involve personal interests.

For cases where lawyer fees are less than 200,000 yuan, the commission for lawyer fees is 10%. If lawyer fees exceed 200,000 yuan, the commission will be reduced by 2% for every 100,000 yuan. The commission for cases where lawyer fees exceeds 500,000 yuan will be discussed separately.

In addition, if the lawyer's fee is less than 10,000 yuan, the lawyer's commission will be 500 yuan per case. Fang Yi understands that this is forcing the lawyer not to accept cases with low lawyer's fees and put limited energy on cases with high lawyer's fees.

The commission of the auxiliary lawyer is calculated the same as that of the commission of the sponsor lawyer, but the commission of the auxiliary lawyer is 5% if the attorney fee is less than 10,000 yuan. The auxiliary lawyer does not have a commission. Of course, there is no need for a simple case.

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

Zhou Yunyuan was busy writing a due diligence report. He took out a box of instant noodles from the drawer of the small table below the work station, shook it at Mei Xiaoting, and went directly to make instant noodles. He wanted to take advantage of the time when the instant noodles were fully exposed to hot water, moisturize, soften, expand and become fat, and speed up writing the report.

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

After resting for an hour and a half at noon, Fang Yi wanted to go back to her residence to cook lunch, but after eating, she took a look, but seeing that everyone was not going out to eat, Mei Xiaoting looked disappointed, so he stood up and called her out to eat.

In fact, Fang Yi was selfish. 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 information conveyed by private communication was the most real.

Fang Yi originally wanted to invite Mei Xiaoting to lunch, but Mei Xiaoting refused. Maybe the two were not familiar with each other, so I was embarrassed to let Fang Yi treat her. The two of them had a rice bowl at a fast food restaurant downstairs.

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

In his concept, there are many types of non-litigation businesses, such as listing and small ones, such as reviewing legal documents. Some make money, some are time-consuming and labor-intensive but not profitable.

"Our team's non-litigation business focuses on issuing bonds and investing due diligence. Yesterday, Mr. Gu and lawyer Zhou just returned from an investment due diligence in other provinces and are rushing to report.

Lawyer Sima and I are in charge of a bond issuance project. We came back from another province last week. In short, we are busy all year round and we are on business trips with boxes all year round. We have limited time in the institute." Mei Xiaoting took a sip of free egg soup and said.

"No litigation should be very profitable. I have been out all year round. Does Lawyer Gu have time to develop litigation business?" Fang Yi asked in confusion.

"How to say..., the non-litigation business was quite profitable before. Boss Gu had a cooperation with an investment company, and now it was a little worse. There were more lawyers and more law firms. They lowered the price of each other. The investment of a project was due to due diligence, from 100,000 yuan to 50,000 yuan now. However, the work was a little bit too much. He had to help the client write an agreement. Do you think you 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, lawyer Xie and Boss Gu are old friends. Later, Boss Gu was poached from another law firm and was specifically responsible for litigation business. This year, the litigation business has gradually improved and there are many cases, so he began to recruit lawyers who are good at litigation.

I heard that in addition to you, I also have to recruit another litigation lawyer. The team's litigation department has three people, and Xie Laokou is responsible for it." Mei Xiaoting said.

"Oh, it seems that Lawyer Gu wants to make a mistake, and litigation goes hand in hand, and both sides are blooming!" Fang Yi said with a smile.

"Well, it's almost the same. Don't think that our team is not crowded. In fact, in the institute, the size of our team is among the top three. Other teams are not as good as us. Some are nominally teams, but they are actually a group of scattered soldiers and scattered soldiers, loosely united, and no one cares about whoever. When you have money to make money, you will go back to your own house and find your own business." Mei Xiaoting said.

"That lawyer Sima seems to be uneasy to talk to..." Fang Yi asked casually.

"Sima lawyer has strong professional skills. When she was founded, she was Boss Gu's assistant. Later, she has come step by step to this day. In the non-save area, she is the second-in-command of our team. I have been following her for the past two years.

Her life is basically work, and work is the whole of her life. Her husband divorced because he couldn't stand it. She has strict requirements on me and Lawyer Zhou. I have been scolded by her a lot, but doing business with her for two years is more than what I learned in the past.

Alas! To be honest, if you want to say that everyone is the first to think of her when working, she is responsible for the project, everyone is relieved. If you want to talk about other things... No one in the institute, except Boss Gu, is willing to deal with her." Mei Xiaoting said.

I wish you a happy New Year! Happy New Year!
