Clarity about your fees.

Understand the scope and fee before any paid engagement. Explore the available fee models and the relevant German statutory framework.

Costs

First the price.
Then the engagement.

You receive an offer setting out the services and fees before any paid engagement. Consumers see the total price, including VAT and any disbursements.

Before engagement

Initial assessment

Fees set out in your offer

Your fee depends on the type and scope of advice. Before any paid engagement, you receive an offer for the services you need. Every legal assessment is reviewed by a lawyer.

＋ Non-binding enquiry; advice only after acceptance of the engagement.

Predictable

Clearly defined tasks

Fixed fee agreed in advance

Contract review, dismissal, general terms or a shareholders’ agreement: we agree a fixed fee in text form under section 3a RVG before starting work. Any additional services are agreed separately in advance.

＋ Tailored to your needs, with a lasting working relationship in mind.

Comparable

Disputes and proceedings

RVG based on the value in dispute

Where fees are calculated under the German Lawyers’ Remuneration Act (RVG), they depend on the value in dispute, the work and the stage of proceedings. Your offer explains the calculation and anticipated costs.

＋ Recovery from the opposing party or legal expenses insurance may be possible.

A transparent calculation

Why digital advice may cost less — and where it cannot.

Statutory minimum fees and permitted fee agreements remain applicable under section 49b BRAO. Digital preparation may reduce the work involved:

  • Routine preparation supported by technology. AI can assist with reviewing and organising material. Your lawyer retains oversight and responsibility for deadlines.
  • A digital file instead of travelling. No office visits, paper, postage or waiting time.
  • Provide information in a structured way. Fewer follow-up questions, shorter processing times and less overall work.
Legal expenses insurance?

We can request confirmation of cover and clarify what is included in advance. We also check possible eligibility for German advice or litigation aid.

Statutory default limits without a fee agreement under section 34(1), sentence 3 RVG: for consumers, the fee for an initial consultation is capped at €190 net (€226.10 including 19% VAT), and for other advice or a written legal opinion at €250 net (€297.50 including 19% VAT). Statutory disbursements may be added. These limits are not HYPER fixed prices and do not apply where a fee agreement exists. Fees are credited towards related further work under section 34(2) RVG unless agreed otherwise. An engagement requires the provider’s express acceptance.
