Every case is different. The billing arrangement is chosen together, based on the nature of your need and the predictability of the case.
Principle: The time spent on your case is billed at an hourly rate agreed in advance (fee agreement). A detailed record of the work carried out is systematically provided with each invoice.
Advantage: maximum flexibility — the cost reflects exactly the work carried out.
Principle: A fixed fee is agreed from the outset for your case.
Advantage: you know the total cost from the outset, regardless of the actual length of the engagement.
Principle: Same principle as hourly fees, with a maximum amount agreed in advance. Determined according to the predictability of the case and the proceedings.
Advantage: the predictability of a flat fee, the transparency of time recorded.
Principle: An additional fee calculated as a percentage of the gain obtained or the saving achieved. Always combined with one of the main arrangements — never on its own.
Advantage: aligns your interest and the firm's interest with the success of the case.
