Fees
Lawyers' fees are not regulated.
It is therefore up to the lawyer and his client to agree on the amount of the fees, based on each of the following elements:
- the time spent on the case,
- research work,
- the nature and difficulty of the case,
- the importance of the interests involved,
- the benefits and results obtained for the customer, as well as the service provided,
- the client's financial situation.
In principle, these elements are used to define an hourly rate, which serves as the basis for calculating fees according to the time spent on the case.
For cases that are not too complex, and for which we can reasonably anticipate the time involved, the fees may be subject to a flat rate or a ceiling.
In the event of legal disputes, and if the case lends itself to it, we may consider fixing a proportion of the fees according to the outcome, for example on the amount of compensation obtained, or conversely on the difference between the amount of damages initially demanded by your adversary and those obtained thanks to the assistance of our firm.
A fee agreement is proposed prior to any service. It systematically provides for a deposit to be paid at the time of agreement. Expenses related to the case (transport, photocopies) are recovered in addition to the fees.
