In a concern for transparency, and to allow the customer to make a decision with full knowledge of the facts, the predictable amount of fees will be indicated beforehand, at the first appointment with the customer.
This first verbal consultation will be invoiced at 83.60 euros before tax, which is 100.00 inclusive of tax.
If at the end of this consultation a file is opened and entrusted to Maître MASSAD LEPAUL, the cost of this consultation will be deducted from the agreed fees.
Determining the amount of the fees generally takes account of :
The nature and the complexity of the case,
The time spent of the file,
The expected result or the economy made,
The customer’s situation.
An inclusive price, a fees agreement or payment according to the time spent, will be proposed to you.
The inclusive price: for certain simple services, where the lawyer’s time is relatively predictable, inclusive fees will be proposed to you. The price is therefore fixed in advance between the parties. This inclusive fee is not discussed again in principle unless there are particular circumstances involving more extensive work
For more complex files, the remuneration will be calculated according to the time spent, or will be the subject of a fees agreement.
Maître MASSAD LEPAUL’s hourly rate is fixed minimum at the sum of 175.00 euros before tax, which is 209.30 euros inclusive of tax.
In France it is forbidden to fix fees according to results only.
The fees agreement that will be proposed to you will therefore include a fixed fee,
lower than the one calculated on the time spent, and an additional fee for the
result obtained or the economy made.
