ALTH\u00c9IA is committed to providing high-quality legal services with a transparent fee policy. We prioritise a relationship of trust with our clients, based on clear, precise information about our charges. <\/p>

Billing principles<\/h2>

Our fees are determined by taking several factors into account, in accordance with Article 10 of French Law No. 71-1130 of 31 December 1971 and the National Rules of the French Legal Profession (R\u00e8glement Int\u00e9rieur National), including:<\/p>

  • The complexity of the matter<\/li>
  • The time spent<\/li>
  • The lawyer’s experience and specialisation<\/li>
  • The client’s particular circumstances<\/li>
  • Expenses and disbursements incurred<\/li>
  • The outcome achieved or service provided<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    In accordance with the applicable rules, a written fee agreement is drawn up before we begin work. It specifies how fees will be calculated and provides an estimate of the likely cost of our services.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    Fee arrangements<\/h2>

    Depending on the nature of your matter, we may offer different fee arrangements:<\/p>

    Time-based fees<\/h3>

    This arrangement is generally used for matters whose duration or complexity is difficult to predict. The hourly rate varies according to the nature and complexity of the matter and the experience of the lawyer handling it. <\/p>

    Fixed fees<\/h3>

    For certain services whose scope and duration can be defined in advance, we offer a fixed fee agreed beforehand.<\/p>

    Subscription arrangements<\/h3>

    For businesses requiring regular legal support, we offer subscription arrangements tailored to their specific needs.<\/p>

    Additional success fee<\/h3>

    In some matters, an additional success fee may be agreed by reference to the outcome achieved, supplementing a base fee. The calculation method is precisely defined in the fee agreement. <\/p>

    Expenses and disbursements<\/h2>

    Expenses and disbursements incurred in the client\u2019s interests, including procedural costs, travel expenses and judicial enforcement officers\u2019 fees, are charged in addition to our fees. These expenses are itemised in our invoices. <\/p>

    Payment terms<\/h2>

    In accordance with usual practice, an advance payment is generally requested at the start of our engagement, followed by interim fee invoices as the matter progresses.<\/p>

    We offer several payment methods: bank transfer, cheque or cash within the limits permitted by law.<\/p>

    Fee disputes<\/h2>

    If you disagree with the amount of the fees, you may refer the matter to the B\u00e2tonnier, the head of the relevant French Bar, for a formal assessment of the fees.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
