Except in cases of exceptional urgency, Legal Fees will always be subject to an estimate to be approved by the Client before any consulting activity is performed by one of our Team Members.
Fees are intended to cover the running costs of our legal consulting firm (e.g., staff, supplies, social contributions, etc.) and to compensate the work carried out by our Legal Consultant(s).
The minimum hourly rate applied by our Lawyers and Legal Consultants is $200 USD NET.
Our Lawyers and Legal Consultants are free to propose per-milestone fixed fees based on their respective applicable hourly rate. Lower hourly rates may apply to long-standing professional relationships.
Our Fees do not include any compensation of third parties such as bailiffs, colleagues or experts.
Subject to the specific agreement between Lawyer and each client, Legal Fees may be paid by client:
(I) upfront in full;
(II) upon completion in full;
(III) with a certain percentage of the total agreed legal fee being paid upfront and the balance being paid upon completion; or
(IV) by means of successive deliverable-based payment milestones including upfront, intermediate and completion milestones;
Clients may pay Legal Fees using one of the following payment methods:
- PayPal;
- Payoneer;
- TransferWise;
- ACH transfer;
- ZELLE payment transfer;
- Bank Wire Transfer, or
- SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area) payment.
All transfer fees incurred or charged by any third party (i.e. banks) when Client proceeds with the payment of our Fees shall be borne solely by the Client.
