IB LEGAL’s fee policy is designed to be transparent and to ensure access to justice for all. The Firm preferably practices an hourly rate, while adapting to the needs of the Client. This hourly rate is proposed in a fair and individualised manner. The characteristics of the case, mainly its nature and complexity, will therefore be taken into account.

For the sake of equity, the experience of the lawyer handling the case is also taken into consideration. Urgency may justify the adjustment of these amounts. A flat rate may also be proposed if the case permits. In addition, a “success fee” may be agreed, which pays attention to the expected and obtained result.

In all cases, the Client must be informed in advance of any adjustment to the fees.

A provision is requested as soon as an agreement is reached on the entrusted mission. The Firm then sends regular statements of expenses and fees, which thus enable the Client to be informed of the progress of the case. The final statement of costs takes into account the advance that has been paid and the payments that have already been made.

When the intervention of a bailiff is required, he or she is freely chosen by the Firm and the Client is invited to pay him or her directly. The Client’s attention is always drawn to the bailiff’s conditioned intervention by the payment of this provision. The Client shall also ensure that the bailiff’s account is settled without reminder.

The Firm reserves the right to suspend its intervention if an invoice is not paid after several reminders and a formal notice. Interest and collection costs are, if applicable, charged to the Client.

In any case, the Firm ensures that confidence, moderation and solidarity are kept at the basis of its fee policy.
