Fees

The firm determines its fees transparently with its clients, according to the nature and difficulty of the case, in accordance with the rules of professional conduct governing the legal profession (Statute of 10 July 1971, Article 10).

The firm mainly bills on a time-spent basis: all services and procedures are billed at the hourly rates agreed in advance, which vary depending on the seniority of the attorney.

Where the client is billed on a time-spent basis, the firm provides in advance at least an estimate of the minimum fees, or the overall amount where possible, which may always be exceeded, in agreement with the client, in the event of additional or unforeseen work.

If the procedure is sufficiently predictable, with a low level of uncertainty, and if the services to be provided can be determined and quantified in advance, the firm and its client may agree on a flat fee for the work involved.

Subject to a prior express agreement between the firm and its client, a success fee may also be applied, in addition to the fees.
