We offer flexibility in the way we bill: either on the basis of the time actually spent on the case, or in the form of a pre-determined fixed fee, independent of the time spent. This approach enables us to respond as effectively as possible to the needs and expectations of each client.

Criteria for determining fees

Fees are established in all fairness, respecting the ethical rules of the legal profession and taking into account various factors:

– The nature and complexity of the case;

– The time devoted to your case

– the amount of legal research required

– the interests at stake

– The client’s financial situation;

– The costs and charges borne by our firm.

Fixed-fee initial consultation

To ensure the best possible start to our collaboration, our firm offers an initial consultation at a fixed fee of 120 euros including tax. 

This initial meeting will enable you to present your situation, obtain preliminary legal advice and discuss the strategy to be adopted for your case. This affordable fee reflects our commitment to making justice accessible, while ensuring a quality service and a thorough assessment of your legal needs.

If you decide to entrust your case to the firm, this sum will be deducted from the proposed fee.
