Fees

Transparent fees tailored to your needs and the complexity of your case

Choosing a lawyer also means choosing a way of working together and building a relationship based on trust. The issue of fees should not be a taboo subject or a source of concern: it deserves to be addressed clearly from the outset so that you can make informed decisions.

This transparency allows you to:

Budget

Manage your legal expenses with peace of mind

Making decisions

Strategic and well-informed
spreadsheets and documents for comparing financial options

And focus on your case rather than on the financial aspects

 A mutual commitment

Discussing fees also provides an opportunity to clearly define the scope of my work, the expected results, and the resources we will dedicate to the project. It’s a mutual commitment: you know what you’re paying for, and I commit to delivering the results you need.

 Available billing options

Every case is different. I will recommend the billing method that best suits your situation and the nature of your needs.

Hourly rates

Policy: Billing based on the actual time spent on your case (hourly rate × number of hours).

Suitable for:

  • Litigation cases with an uncertain duration
  • Complex cases requiring in-depth research
  • Support on evolving issues

Advantage: You only pay for the work actually performed, with detailed tracking of the time spent.

Flat-rate fees

Principle: a fixed amount agreed upon in advance for a specific service.

Suitable for:

  • Projects with clearly defined scope (GDPR audits, contract drafting, targeted compliance)
  • Legal proceedings with predictable stages
  • Responses to formal notices or complaints

Advantage: You know the total cost from the start, regardless of how long the assignment actually lasts.

Mixed fees

Principle: a combination of a base fee and additional compensation based on results (success fee) or time spent.

Suitable for:

  • Projects involving a predictable phase (fixed-price) and an uncertain phase (time-and-materials)
  • Disputes involving significant financial stakes

Advantage: a balance between budget predictability and flexibility.

Ongoing support (retainer)

Policy: Monthly or quarterly fees for regular support and a set number of services.

Suitable for:

  • Companies with recurring legal needs related to GDPR or commercial law
  • The in-house legal counsel
  • Managing multiple cases simultaneously

Benefits: guaranteed availability, preferential rates, and budget control throughout the year.
