Lawyer's character

After the adjournment, the court opened again, and the presiding judge announced the verdict in court:

"...The defendant Gucci and others were drunk and causing trouble. He beat pedestrians for no reason and then took advantage of the money. Taking advantage of the victim's unpreparedness when he was knocked down, he openly took the victim's mobile phone and ran away. The defendant did not commit violence or resist arrest. The act of threatening violence constitutes the crime of robbery.

The criminal facts charged by the public prosecution agency are clear and the evidence is reliable and sufficient, but the characterization is inappropriate and should be corrected. In accordance with the provisions of Article 267, Paragraph 1, of the Criminal Law, Gucci was sentenced to one year in prison for robbery and fined RMB 2,000. "

After hearing the verdict, Gu Xuekai in the auditorium shed two lines of tears silently. His son was only nineteen years old, but he was branded a criminal. This was something he could not accept, but the reality was what it was, and there was nothing he could do about it.

At this time, Gu Xuekai was leaning on the chair weakly, not knowing what he was thinking. Relatives and friends around him want to persuade him but don't know how to speak. This is a hurdle he must pass, and he can only rely on himself. If even he himself couldn't pass this test, what about his wife?

Fang Yi left Yun Qiao to collect the case file materials, and he came to sit next to Gu Xuekai alone.

"Director Gu, go back." Fang Yi consoled him.

"Lawyer Fang, if we appeal, is there any hope..." Gu Xuekai looked at Fang Yi with tears in his eyes.

Fang Yi shook his head.

Poor parents in the world!

On the way back, Yun Qiao drove the car, and Fang Yi sat in the passenger seat, staring blankly ahead.

"Xiaoyun, did your family care about your studies when you were a child?" Fang Yi asked lightly.

"When I was a kid, my dad was busy doing business all day, and my mom followed me out of the stall. Only my grandma took care of me at home. My grandma was very powerful. If I made a mistake, she would hit my palm with a board. It hurt!" Yun Qiao didn't know why Fang Yi asked so, so he said it truthfully.

"Do you hate your grandma?" Fang Yi asked.

"I don't hate it! But I hated it at the time. As soon as my parents came home, I complained. But my grandma always followed suit. When I was a child, my grandma wouldn't let me play with the children in the village, so she would let me do it as soon as I got home. Homework, and a lot of exercise books my parents bought me to do.

My grandma often says that it’s useless no matter how well I play with the children in the village, as they gradually lose contact with me. As long as I can go to college, there will be many classmates who play with me, and they will all have special advantages. You will make more and more friends. Yun Qiao said.

"Strictness is love! Looseness is harm! Your grandma is right! How is the old man now? Is he in good health?" Fang Yi asked.

"He passed away when I was in my junior year of college." After Yun Qiao finished speaking, he fell silent.

"I'm sorry!" Fang Yi glanced at Yun Qiao and found tears hanging from the corners of her eyes.

"It's okay! It's been several years." Yun Qiao stretched out his hand to wipe away his tears, put on a smile and said.

Shortly after the verdict of Gucci's case was issued, the Procuratorate filed a protest. The Procuratorate believed that the first-instance court's characterization of the case was wrong and Gucci's behavior should constitute robbery.

Gu Xuekai once again entrusted Fang Yi to defend Gucci. In the end, the court of second instance ruled as follows: the protest was dismissed and the original judgment was upheld. This is all for later.

Fang Yi has been thinking about generating 8 million in income during this period. If he can complete the task this year, he may be promoted to a second-level partner by the end of the year.

To be honest, Fang Yi was really moved after Wan Kefa finished talking to him. The resources that second-level partners can enjoy are very attractive, but what attracts him even more is the quota of three lawyers. Wanke Law allows him to build his own team of three lawyers.

Some people may say, what’s the point? It’s not easy to just find three lawyers to form a team, but that’s not the case. Teams can be tight-knit or loose.

Lawyer Xia Junxia who had deceived Fang Yi before, the Li Xiangrui team he joined adopted a loose style. To put it bluntly, they cooperated with each other. If there was business, they would come together, and if there was no business, everyone would do their own thing.

The advantage of the loose model is that the cost is low, each lawyer is accounted for separately, and everyone makes money together through the reputation or resources of a certain lawyer. The cooperation between them is a pure interest relationship, and whoever has the business takes the lead. If you can do business by yourself, you will not cooperate with other lawyers. All the money will go into your own pocket, and the probability of being alone is very high.

This model also determines that the cooperation between lawyers cannot be close and may fall apart at any time.

Wan Kefa proposed to give Fang Yi three lawyer positions and let him form a group within the team. It was a group with Fang Yi as the main one, and it was a tight-knit group.

The salaries of the members of this group will be borne by Fang Yi himself, and all the income generated by the group will go to Fang Yi, and Fang Yi can take advantage of the second-level partner to provide blood transfusions to the group.

Of course, it is impossible for Wan Kefa to let loose and ignore everything. After all, this group is also a group within his team. Just like the legal department and the negotiation team, they are all independent, and there will definitely be the support they deserve. It's just that the degree of control is lower, but as long as he can hold Fang Yi, he is not afraid that the group's wings will become stiff and they will fly away.

Wan Kefa supports Fang Yi in doing this, so will he get any benefits? The answer is yes.

First, Fang Yi is within his team, and Fang Yi’s popularity is conducive to improving the reputation of the entire team, which is an invisible benefit; second, Fang Yi can use his relationship to attract other business to the team, although currently this It can be ignored, but if Fang Yi takes off one day, it is not certain who will borrow the light of whom. Therefore, as the saying goes, "People are always treacherous, horses are always slippery." The fat old man who has been dominating the local lawyer circle for most of his life, I believe that my vision is not bad; thirdly, Wankefa can get a commission of five points from Fang Yi's group's income. If the water is flowing steadily, the income may be very objective in the future.

In fact, supporting Fang Yi to form a team within the team is also an attempt for Wan Kefa. If it succeeds, he is prepared to take Ma Yi out alone and ask him to follow Fang Yi's example and set up a separate accounting team.

However, the possibility of Ma Yi being promoted to a second-level partner is relatively low, because there are shadows of first-level partners behind the second-level partners, and the emphasis is on balance. Although Wan Kefa is the director, there are five first-level partners in total, and it is impossible for the fat old man to take all the benefits.

However, Ma Yi also has his own advantages. He has several external partners. Although they are not particularly stable, they can contribute a lot of revenue to him every year. In addition, Wankefa will also allocate relevant business to him and support him for a few years. As long as Ma Yi can make his own blood, Wankefa will be relaxed.

As long as there are two successful teams there, other lawyers will definitely be interested. After all, everyone is competitive. If the lawyers in the team want to set up their own business, Wan Kefa can put forward conditions. In this way, the team will be revitalized.

There are still a bunch of old guys like Lao Huang who are greedy for comfort, and they can stay to support and cooperate with the business of the legal advisory department and the daily business of the team. By then, Wanke Fake will have nothing to fear, just drink tea and talk about it. Water, don’t be too unrestrained.

In fact, Wankefa had no choice but to do this. As a large law firm, Wanhua United Law Firm had its own problems, and some contradictions gradually emerged. As a founding partner, Wankefa had to keep a hand.
