The cost of our lawyer fees is competitive, clear from the start, and fully transparent throughout your mandate.
1% of our fees are sent to charities.
We believe in receiving fees for quick and efficient results. We believe in giving priority to mediations and dispute resolution and litigate only if required to do so by the client.
We consider that the lawyer fees must be adjusted to the needs of the client and the specificities of the case, and therefore our clients should have clear and transparent alternatives.
If it is possible and if we have the necessary information, we provide a fee quote online within 24 hours.
The choice you make can be confirmed online with a simple straightforward retainer agreement.
