Prices exclude VAT and are reserved for businesses. Full terms.

Fixed fee

A firm price per matter, announced before any work begins: fundraising, sale of a company, trade mark filing, tax audit… See the fixed-fee price list.

Block of hours

A standard deliverable is a service from the catalogue, produced from the firm’s template, under French law. It falls outside the subscription as soon as more than €50,000 is at stake or it takes more than 10 hours of work, requires a negotiation with a third party beyond those included in your plan, carries a litigation risk or concerns several jurisdictions.

Outside the subscription are, in particular: fundraising, sales and acquisitions, restructurings, litigation and court debt recovery, tax audits, full GDPR compliance projects, trade mark filings, dismissals, and negotiations with third parties beyond those included in your plan. Each one is covered by a firm quote, with a 15% subscriber discount, approved before any work begins. See the price list for work outside the subscription.

Our commitments

Four written commitments

4 h

Acknowledgement of receipt

Within four working hours. The lawyer in charge and the turnaround time are confirmed to you within one working day.

Published

A turnaround time for each service

Each deliverable has its turnaround time in working days and its number of review rounds, set out in writing before you place your order.

−10%

If we miss the deadline

A 10% reduction on the next monthly instalment, with nothing for you to prove.

1

A named lawyer

For each service, with a designated deputy. You know their name before work begins.

Your name stays confidential, even after the matter is closed

The law imposes professional secrecy on every lawyer. We go further with a house rule: no logos, no client names, no testimonials, no transactions mentioned, either during the matter or afterwards. You can entrust us with a fundraising round, an audit or a dispute without anyone hearing about it from us. In meetings, we describe situations comparable to yours by sector and by size, never by name.
