A lawyer witness is different from the witnesses of other personnel. It refers to a witness who is a lawyer of a law firm as a witness in the name of a law firm. It is a "private certificate", but it has strong probative power. Lawyers can generally refer to the operation guide compiled by the Lawyers Association, which has strong legal norms and principles.

Lawyers can undertake the following witness business:

(1) The client personally signs and seals in front of the lawyer;

(2) the authenticity of the client's intention to sign legal documents. These legal documents include but are not limited to various contracts/agreements, articles of association, resolutions, statements and wills of the board of directors/shareholders' meeting;

(3) the authenticity of other legal acts (other legal facts) or the authenticity of its process, such as:

A. Establishment, alteration and dissolution of the principal-agent relationship;

B. Inheritance, gift, division, transfer and abandonment of property;

(4) Whether the original and photocopy are consistent;

(5) Other witness matters entrusted by the client.

Note: This article is the scope of business witnessed by lawyers. In the process of formulation, there is a situation that "law firms are not allowed to handle so-called construction project contracts, foster care (processing) repurchase contracts and purchase (sales) contracts involving fraudulent elements or illegal fund-raising, and it is not appropriate to handle the legal witness business of fund-raising contracts in the name of subscription of equity cards and membership cards". Mainly considering that this kind of business witness may involve some fraudulent acts, fearing that lawyers will become victims; However, some members believe that the contents of these operational guidelines should not be too narrow, and there seems to be no basis for all contracts that are not prohibited by law and contracts that have no evidence to prove fraud. After discussion, it was deleted as above.
