How fees work
Fees depend on the matter's complexity, stage and forum. We offer fixed fees per stage, hourly rates for advisory work and monthly retainers for businesses. Court, expert, translation and notary costs are separate and listed in your engagement letter. The final fee will not materially exceed the agreed estimate without your prior approval.
Fixed fee per stage
For court matters: a set fee for each stage, such as first instance, appeal or execution.
Hourly rate
