Fees
​​
​
As a licensed lawyer, the fees are freely set in accordance with article 10 of the law n° 71-1130 of December, 31st 1971. The fees can be charged as flat rate, hourly rate or hourly plus contingency fee ("success fee"). Some factors may justify an extra fee (the urgency, the special nature of services provided, the importance of the case, new demands, etc.). Expenses and other legal costs are not included and should be paid separetly by the client. A retainer is usually asked upfront. The first meeting is not charged if followed by a mandate of representation otherwise it will be charged and payment is expected the day of the first meeting.
​
We operate in transparency with our clients. A fee agreement will be systematically proposed and signed prior to the completion of any due diligence and a written consent for additional fees will be requested. ​​​
