Compensation for Lawyers: Hourly Rate Should Not Exceed 447 Thousand?

View Post in Vietnamese: >> Thù lao của luật sư 01 giờ không được thu quá 447 ngàn?

May I ask if a lawyer participating in criminal proceedings can agree with the client on any amount of hourly remuneration?

Pursuant to Clause 1, Article 18 of Decree 123/2013/ND-CP stipulated as follows:

The remuneration for lawyers participating in criminal proceedings shall be agreed upon by the client and the law office or law firm in the legal services contract based on the stipulations in Clause 1, Article 55 of the Law on Lawyers and calculated on an hourly basis or a package per case, but the maximum rate for one hour of a lawyer's work shall not exceed 0.3 times the statutory pay rate stipulated by the Government of Vietnam.

The working hours of the lawyer shall be agreed upon by the lawyer and the client.

Thus, the maximum rate for one hour of a lawyer's work shall not exceed 0.3 times the statutory pay rate, which is currently 1,490,000 VND. Therefore, a lawyer may not receive remuneration exceeding 447,000 VND/hour.

Respectfully!
