Legal Counselling and Legal Assistance in Romania : Flat Fees

In the case of real-estate or commercial litigations, our fee policy provides that we charge flat fees for each legal action, including forced executions and retrials of an earlier proceeding.

The payment of flat fees is due within 10 days from the date of issue of the invoice, at the latest, by the term of the legal proceeding for which the invoice was issued, i.e. before an agreement on the forced execution is reached.

The flat fees may vary according to the complexity and the value of the litigation, the estimated length of the legal services, the legal body arbitrating the litigation, and the client’s demands regarding the attendance of the titular attorney. We reserve the right to renegotiate the flat fees if, independently of our will, the initial estimation does not correspond to the current situation.



Legal Counselling and Legal Services in Bucharest : Hourly Charges

Our law firm usually applies hourly charges to legal consultancy services. However, there may be real-estate or commercial litigations that we charge at hourly fees as well. In such cases, depending on the location of the litigation, together with the client we agree in advance on a specific number of hours for each trial setting. The hourly charges may vary between €85 and €150, depending on the complexity of the case.

Hourly charges are invoiced periodically. The invoices contain a description of the provided legal services. The payment of hourly charges is due at most within 10 days from the date of issue of the invoice.



Consultanta si asistenta juridica : onorariile pe termen de judecata

In cazul litigiilor care se desfasoara in afara Bucurestiului, politica de onorarii consta in stabilirea unui onorariu forfetar, in functie de activitatea estimata a se desfasura la sediul cabinetului nostru de avocatura (studiu si pregatire dosar, redactare documente), la care se adauga un onorariu pe termen de judecata, convenit anticipat cu clientul.

The payment of the contingency fee is usually due within 10 days from the date of the final an irrevocable court decision or from the end date of the project.
