In accordance with appropriate legislation our fees are set on a case by case basis.
There are no set hourly fee rates, no maximum fees nor fixed-fee quotations for legal services.
At our very first client meeting an agreement is reached on a fee charging method.

Fee options

The fees are negotiated for each individual case (consultation, drafting documents, assistance and representation before the court, etc.) and are the subject of a written or oral agreement between both parties.
Fees vary according to the complexity of the affair, time and labour involved, research to be made, number of languages to be used and the particular client’s requirements etc.

Generally, we charge a fee set according to the time spent and based on an hourly rate defined according to the criteria above. Each client receives an invoice indicating the time spent and description of completed tasks. Initially we are able to give clients a general idea, based on our experience, as to what the total fee may be depending on the circumstances at that time. However, fees can easily vary if circumstances change, which they often do. We, of course, keep our clients informed about any change in circumstances which would cause the fees to significantly increase.

When a client requires regular consistent legal representation, in particular for corporate matters, we suggest the client to conclude a contract of subscription. This method of fee setting allows the client to retain our services for a regular fee payment lasting the duration of a given agreement.

In some situations, we may charge a one-time fee known as a flat fee to complete any work on the case from beginning to end. These are mostly in matters of company incorporation or contract drafting.

Fee Agreement

The fee is set between the lawyer and the client and the agreement may be oral or written.
In case of limited standard legal services, the fee is general fixed orally.
If the case is more complex and time consuming or if it involves different aspects of  Law then we systematically establish a written fee agreement.
Whatever the nature of legal services required, we put the agreement in a written contract if the client so wishes.
We are required to have a written fee contract when working on an additional contingency basis.
