Fees &
Transparency

Clara Delaubier Law Firm

The issue of fees is a fundamental element of the relationship of trust between a lawyer and their client. At Clara Delaubier's law firm, financial transparency is an absolute rule. From your very first contact, the billing methods are clearly explained to you, with no hidden costs or unpleasant surprises.

First Appointment

To allow you to calmly explain your situation and assess the stakes of your case, the first consultation appointment at the firm is free and without obligation. Following this meeting, if a procedure or support is necessary, a precise and detailed quote will systematically be proposed to you before any intervention begins.

Flat-Rate Billing

For standard procedures or legal services with a predictable process (drafting of maritime contracts, specific legal consultations), a comprehensive and final flat rate is agreed upon from the start. You will therefore know the total cost of the service in advance.

Hourly Billing

For complex litigation cases or those involving significant uncertainty, particularly in maritime or insurance law, fees are billed based on a mutually agreed hourly rate. A detailed record of the time spent on your case will be regularly provided to you.

A Written Fee Agreement

In accordance with the ethical rules of the legal profession, every service requires the signing of a fee agreement. This written contract constitutes your formal quote: it strictly defines the mission entrusted to the firm as well as the method for calculating and paying the fees.
