Focus on criminal issues

Our fees are established in full transparency and with our clients’ approvals. They are estimated according to the hourly rate, the offenses at stake, the complexity of the case, the time spent on the case.

You receive monthly invoices which includes every information concerning the time devoted to the case and every action taken by the firm in regard to the case.

We also make sure to devote part of our time to Pro Bono activity and to assist and represent organisations and / or people in need.

We offer three different invoicing methods and we take time to verify, with our clients, which method is most suitable to their needs :

* Hourly rate with or without remuneration depending on the final outcome of the case,


* Fixed fees with or without remuneration depending on the final outcome of the case,


* Subscriptions are taken out by our clients and allow them to stay informed of the criminal and regulatory legislation

Our Fees

Suited on every situation

Our Workflow

We discuss your case and we take time to decide whether or not it can be treated by our firm. 

We talk together about the procedures to follow and the various strategies that we can put in place. Following this first exchange, the client will be receiving a proposition of the detailed fee proposal. 

First meeting


Once you have given your consent / once you have agreed on the amount of the fees, we will be sending you an official mandate allowing us to take actions in your name and for your interests. We will also be sending you two copies of the fee’ agreement that will have to be returned to us with your signature.  

Written agreement

Once the written agreement is signed, an invoice is established. You then have to provide the payment of the provisional fee either by writing us a check, through a bank transfer or online. 

Payment of fee

Invoices are sent every month and you will be receiving details regarding the actions carried out by the firm in each one of your cases.
