Our compensation
Cost transparency right from the start
What does the consultation / representation cost?
The question of the lawyer’s fee is usually the first and most important question, because only then can you decide whether and to what extent you want us to handle your matter. The answer can only be: It depends – on the type and scope!
The task of carrying out an appeal procedure in which the documents of two instances have to be reviewed naturally costs more time and fees than handling a case from the outset.
The type of billing can also be chosen differently: In some cases, billing according to the RVG (Lawyers’ Fees Act), which is based on the amount in dispute, is the more favorable option, while in other cases, billing according to the time actually spent is the fairest solution. We will discuss the question of remuneration with you – however, it is also decisive whether a Spanish or German lawyer is working for you.
Remuneration according to German fees
The remuneration of lawyers in the Federal Republic of Germany has been regulated by the German Lawyers’ Fees Act (RVG) since July 1, 2004 and is generally based on the value of the matter or amount in dispute.
In addition, remuneration agreements can also be concluded for advisory and out-of-court work, for example for a flat fee or according to time spent. Our hourly rates within the framework of individual remuneration agreements start from € 350 (plus VAT). For an initial legal consultation, we charge a standard fee of €190 (plus VAT), as required throughout Germany.
The costs of our tax consultants are calculated separately according to the scale of fees for tax consultants. However, flat-rate fees or payment by the hour are also conceivable here. (250.-€ / h plus statutory value added tax).
Remuneration according to Italian fees
The composition of the rates for legal advice is agreed in writing with the client and provides for 3 different options:
Remuneration according to hourly rate
The law firm calculates the fee according to the number of hours worked.
Flat rate system
With this price option (flat rate), a fixed price is agreed for the entire consultation, the entire out-of-court procedure or for a certain period of time.
Parametric system according to ital. RVG
The parametric system (tabular system) provides for the analytical division of the consultancy fees according to phases: for example, “procedural analysis”, “introduction”, “investigation phase” and “decision phase”.
