BEIJING -- China's national lawyers association has launched supportive projects to help and promote the development of the legal service sector in response to the effects resulting from the coronavirus epidemic.

The All China Lawyers Association (ACLA) planned to provide targeted assistance to law firms and lawyers in operational difficulties due to the epidemic, and strengthen financial aid for lawyers suffering from major diseases and hardships of life.

Lawyers associations across the country were required to take actions, including reducing or waiving membership fees and setting up special funds to help the sector overcome difficulties.

In light of the epidemic impact, lawyers and law firms of Hubei Province, newly established law firms, and lawyers who have been confirmed as COVID-19 positive will be exempt from membership fees for 2020.

The ACLA also demanded intensified efforts to guarantee occupational insurance and job security for lawyers while stabilizing employment in the sector.
