Fees

Initial Meeting

‍The first meeting is not billed if it leads to the case being handled by the firm.
‍
However, if this meeting allows me to provide an immediate answer to your issue, or if you decide not to move forward afterwards, it will be billed based on time spent.


Fee arrangement

Fees are set in full transparency with the client and are always the subject of a prior discussion.
In accordance with the ethical rules governing the legal profession, three billing methods may be applied:

1. Billing based on time spent

Fees are calculated according to the time devoted to the case, at an hourly rate of €200 (excl. VAT).
‍
An estimate of the fees is generally discussed during the first meeting.

2. Flat fee billing

For certain matters, a flat fee may be agreed, covering all the firm’s work on the case.
This flat fee does not include potential external costs (bailiffs, postal expenses, translations, administrative filings, etc.).
‍
A fee agreement specifies the amount and the services covered.

3. Success fee

A success fee may be agreed in addition to a fixed or flat fee, for instance based on a tax reduction obtained or a tax saving achieved.
‍
This fee can never constitute the sole remuneration.
‍
A fee agreement sets out the calculation method.
