Fees

In accordance with the professional rules governing our profession, our firm works in complete transparency. From the very first interview, the question of fees is clearly addressed.

Our usual method of charging our fees is linked to an hourly rate determined according to the complexity of the case, the degree of urgency, the seniority and the specialisation of the lawyer.

We can also propose, in consultation with the client, other methods more suited to his expectations such as fixed price formulas or profit sharing.

As a general rule, provisions are regularly invoiced in order to allow clients to organise the budget necessary for our intervention as best as possible. We are also careful to provide regular and precise justification of the services provided and the costs incurred.

We are also very careful to ensure that our fees are in line with our clients' needs.
