If the parties to an economic dispute case entrust a lawyer to handle it, the lawyer's service fee shall be paid by the client, and the litigation fee of the case shall be borne by the losing party. The lawyer's fees for economic disputes shall be borne by the client. Under normal circumstances, the attorney's fee shall be borne by the client himself. The lawyer's fees shall be borne by the losing party in cases where the creditor exercises the right of revocation, civil cases of copyright and trademark rights, etc. Reasonable attorney fees shall be borne by the losing party at its discretion, including patent and security disputes, unfair competition cases, personal injury compensation, reputation infringement and traffic accidents, legal aid cases, arbitration cases, etc.

What are the specific payment rules for attorney fees?

1. The existing provisions on legal costs are only applicable to some fields, and cannot be understood as the losing party. There is a legal basis for the wrong party to bear legal costs;

2. Whether to hire a lawyer is the right of the parties concerned, not a necessary act. The court will not change the outcome of the case because of whether the parties hire a lawyer or not, so there is no necessary causal relationship between hiring a lawyer and bringing a lawsuit;

3. China's current relevant regulations do not completely unify the charging standards for lawyers, and the parties and entrusted lawyers can negotiate on their own, so it is difficult for the court to define the accuracy of charging;

4. The losing party's legal fees may also lead to malicious competition among lawyers, which is not conducive to the current legal system construction in China.

To sum up, in the case of contract disputes, the creditor exercises the right of cancellation. According to the law, the necessary expenses such as attorney's fees and travel expenses paid by the creditor in exercising the cancellation right shall be borne by the debtor, and if the third party is at fault, it shall be appropriately shared.
