澳门律师业发展至今,在人数方面有了大的飞跃,在业务方面有了质的提升。但因为缺乏律师合伙的法律制度,澳门律师业仍以个人执业、合署办公以及类似“律师合伙”的形式经营。本文根据澳门现行整体法律秩序,并借镜内地和葡萄牙的律师合伙制度,就澳门律师合伙制度的构建提出以下建议:律师合伙制度有建立的必要性;律师合伙应被赋予法律人格;律师合伙的合伙人只能是律师;律师合伙应在客户保护和合伙人责任之间取得平衡。
Throughout the history of its development,the Macau lawyer profession has witnessed a big leap in terms of numbers and a qualitative improvement in terms of business. However,due to the lack of a legal system for partnership of lawyers,Macau lawyers still carry out their business in the form of personal practice,co-administration and forms similar to a “partnership law firm”. Based on the current overall legal order in Macau,with reference to the Chinese and Portuguese Partnership law firm systems,this article proposes that a legal regime for partnership law firm is necessary,in which legal personality should be conferred to a partnership law firm. Only lawyers are permitted to become a partner,and balance should be made between client protection and partner responsibilities.
