Edylegal's fees in Paris

Fees are determined after an initial discussion with the client to determine the difficulty of the case and the tasks to be entrusted to the firm.

Fees are either flat-rate or billed by the hour. A fee for results can also be added. In certain specific cases, a subscription may also be envisaged.

The choice of one or other of these billing methods depends essentially on the nature of the case to be handled (advice, assistance with a negotiated departure, litigation, etc.).

In all cases, the lawyer's mode of remuneration is the subject of a prior fee agreement with the client.

Regardless of the billing method used, the firm operates on a retainer basis. This means that the taking on and study of a case is subject to prior payment of a retainer.

Lawyers' fees are subject to value-added tax (VAT) at the current rate of 20%.

Fees are to be distinguished from costs, disbursements and emoluments such as travel expenses, photocopies, telephone calls, correspondence, documentation, etc., which are billed separately.
