Financial transparency

Our fees

Lawyers’ fees are set freely in agreement with each client

In this respect, mdl law firm respects a duty of information and transparency regarding its fees.
This is why we draw up a fees agreement, prior to starting our assignment, either based on an hourly rate or a fixed amount, depending on the type of services to be provided, the difficulty of the case, the scope of the interests at stake, the time spent on the case and the specialisations, the reputation and professional experience of the team members involved.
The fees agreement may also stipulate a “success fee”, depending on the type of procedure involved, which may be a fixed amount or a percentage of the result obtained.

Useful information

In accordance with the rules of professional ethics applicable to lawyers, a retainer fee may be required before starting our assignment.
