Fees are assessed according to the difficulty of the case and the time required to process it.

A fee agreement is signed for each case. Any overruns are subject to prior agreement with the customer. An additional agreement must be signed for each new assignment.

Article 11 of the National Internal Rules of the legal profession stipulates that “(…) Fees are the subject of a written agreement which specifies the amount and method of determining the fees relating to foreseeable diligence, as well as the costs and disbursements envisaged. Fees take into account the client’s financial situation, the difficulty of the case, the costs incurred by the attorney, his reputation and the work performed. An additional fee may be charged according to the result obtained or the service rendered. The General Rules of Professional Conduct require the avocat aux conseils to show moderation and delicacy in setting fees, and allow him to demand payment prior to the completion of the work to which they relate (…)”.
