Enterprises do not need annual inspection. Do law firms and lawyers still need annual inspection?
Over the years, the National Lawyers Association and many lawyers have strongly called for the cancellation of the annual inspection, but the current annual inspection system remains unchanged. Generally speaking, the annual inspection of law firms includes registered capital inspection, political quality inspection, practice ability inspection and practice performance inspection. Its laws and regulations mainly include the provisions of the Lawyers Law, the Measures for the Administration of Lawyers in 2008, the Measures for the Administration of Law Firms, and the Measures for the Annual Inspection and Assessment of Law Firms.

According to these specific provisions, the annual inspection of lawyers and law firms mainly includes:

1. Registered capital requirements.

The Lawyers Law does not stipulate the registered capital of law firms. Article 7 of the Measures for the Administration of Law Firms of the Ministry of Justice stipulates that "the establishment of a general partnership law firm shall meet the following conditions: (4) It has assets of more than RMB 300,000."

Second, team building.

Article 7 of the Measures for Annual Inspection and Assessment of Law Firms is divided into the following items: (1) Changes in the number, quality and structure of lawyers; (two) to organize lawyers to carry out ideological and political education and lawyers' professional ethics and practice discipline education; (three) to organize lawyers to carry out business study and participate in vocational training; (four) to carry out the party building work of lawyers.

? Three. Business development.

Article 8 is divided into: (1) the quantity, field, quality and income of business handled; (2) Abide by laws, regulations, rules and industry norms; (three) to guide and supervise lawyers to represent major cases and group cases; (four) lawyer supervision and complaint investigation; (five) legal aid and social welfare activities; (six) the parties, the relevant departments and the public's praise and complaints.

Fourth, the performance of lawyers.

Article 9 is divided into: (1) lawyers' compliance with laws, professional ethics, practice discipline and practice code of conduct; (two) legal aid obligations and public welfare activities; (three) subject to administrative rewards and punishments, industry rewards and punishments; (4) Annual examination of lawyers' practice.

Article 10 is divided into: (1) the establishment and implementation of the practice management system; (two) the establishment and implementation of the management system of fees, finance and distribution; (3) Paying taxes according to law; (four) the establishment of practice risk and career development fund; (five) to manage the employment of lawyers and auxiliary personnel; (6) Management of branches; (7) Management practice; (eight) the management of business files and lawyer files; (nine) the implementation of the articles of association and the partnership system.

It can be seen from the above provisions of the Ministry of Justice that the annual inspection of law firms and lawyers is not only as simple as reviewing their registered capital capacity, but also extends to the comprehensive assessment of political quality and professional quality. Just like the year-end appraisal of state organs. It is a comprehensive verification of a company's comprehensive social responsibility performance and political and professional quality.
