Flexible Fee Options
During our initial consultation, we will discuss your case and provide you with a choice of fee options. We will work together to determine the most suitable fee structure for your specific situation. Possible fee options include:
- Time-Based Fees: the fees will be based on the number of hours spent working on your case, with the hourly rate dependent on the complexity of the tasks involved.
- Fixed Fees: sometimes, a fixed fee can be set for the entire procedure, which is generally because we can already estimate the time required to complete the work.
- Contingency Fees: our contingency fees are calculated based on the outcome of your case, with the amount dependent on the gain, savings, or advantage achieved. This fee structure can be used in conjunction with our time-based or fixed fees, but it is not applicable to all cases.
Additional Information
- Legal Protection Insurance: if you have legal protection insurance, your insurer may cover part or all of our fees. However, you remain free to choose your own lawyer.
- Reimbursement of Fees: in the event of a successful outcome in court, the opposing party may be ordered to reimburse you for the fees and expenses incurred during the procedure. This is governed by Article 700 of the Civil Procedure Code and Article 475-1 of the Criminal Procedure Code.
