Our Fees

Abraham Lincoln once said that an "attorney's time is his stock in trade".


Our lawyers are retained to provide their time and apply their knowledge, advice, and thoughtful consideration to our clients solve their problems. An attorney's hourly fee should fairly reflect his level of skill and experience.


Initial Consultation

There is no lawyer without a client. The client goal is key to define success for the work of the Solicitor. We need to understand fully what are your needs, apart from the facts of the case, to be able to provide you with the best service.

We used to offer our first consultation free, but unfortunately, we are not doing it anymore. Other clients, that have already contracted our service, had to wait more time to see their matters being expeditively advancing because we were taking time to attend this free of charge consultation. 

Our first consultation meeting is estimated to be 1 hour billing time, so that we can meet you in person (or online) to review documents & your situation. We also require the fee being payed in advance, but we will discount this amount from any legal matter that we undertake, so we can certainly keep saying that is free (provided that you decide finally to be a client of ours). 

Please understand that some cases are more complex and will require more time. In those cases, we will tell you in advance an estimation of the fee that might be required.

Hourly Rates

This is our standard billing criteria. We will charge our clients for the time that an attorney, paralegal, or law clerk spends in the prosecution of his or her matter. Our hourly rates are 180€ professional solicitor and 90€ paralegal assistant, with increments of minimum six minutes (one-tenth of an hour), non vat included. We will gladly give you an estimate of the time expected for the case. We will also let you know when the time involved exceeds the estimation provided.


Services Offered For Fixed Fees

For conveyance cases, wills and straightforward inheritance work, we have flat fee rates available. The amount of the fee depends upon the conveyance value and the complexity of it. Whenever possible we will offer you a fixed fee for dealing with the whole of your case.

Please note that the fixed fee could be revised only if the nature of the work changes substantially, for example, if we discover title problems when dealing with the purchase of a property and you decide to continue with it asking us to resolve the problems before you purchase, in the case of an inheritance when new assets appear during the procedure which where no disclosed when the initial budget was prepared, etc. In any case, we will let you know in advance prior to compromise new fees. 

Correspondence service fee

It is a common policy after a conveyance to address all postal and electronic correspondence from our non resident clients to our personal address office. This correspondence usually include notifications from communities, utilities, townhall, tax authorities, etc… and the service entails us a labor cost and added time in classifying the relevant information and advising and informing our clients about it.

We are offering a six month free correspondence service to our clients after we deal a conveyance process for them.

After the six months period of free corresponding service, we are offering our clients to continue with this service for a monthly fee of 30 euros + VAT, that will be automatically deducted in your bank account if you do not give us difference instructions about it or alternative correspondence address of your preference to change them.

If you are already a client of us and we have been receiving your postal and electronic correspondence and notification in the past and now, please note that we will start charging your bank account for this service starting May 2016. Otherwise please let us know an address of your convenience to modify it.
