We consider it essential that both parties are satisfied with the terms of our
cooperation. We understand that for the client the fee for legal services must be
meaningful in relation to the desired outcomes, while for us, the primary consideration
is the time investment.
We always strive to find an appropriate compromise.
Our base fee policy is a blended hourly rate of CZK 2,600 plus VAT (i.e., CZK 3,146 including
VAT). We bill our clients a portion of the fee (CZK 650 plus VAT) per each commenced
quarter-hour. This ensures that the final price reflects the actual amount of work. With us, you
will not find yourself paying a full hourly fee for just answering a simple phone call.
In some cases, it is possible to agree on a fixed fee in advance. A list of these services,
along with indicative pricing, can be found here: https://www.legallist.cz/advokatni-kancelare/ok-legal-advokatni-kancelar-s-r-o.
Please note that our fee does not include additional costs related to the legal services
rendered, such as court, administrative or notarial fees, postage, translator or expert fees,
and other costs reasonably incurred in the client’s interest. According to the law, such
expenses are borne by the client. However, we consult our clients in advance before
incurring any substantial costs.
In most cases, our approach is significantly more advantageous for the client than the
statutory fee regime (Decree of the Ministry of Justice No. 177/1996 Coll.), which an attorney
is entitled to request from the client unless agreed otherwise.
In case of a dispute, we always strive to achieve maximum reimbursement of legal service
costs from the opposing party, either based on a decision of the court, or an out-of-court
settlement. In certain cases, the reimbursement may even exceed the amount of the fees
actually paid by the client. In such cases, the reimbursement belongs to the client up to the
amount of the fees paid by the client, and any excessive amount belongs to us as a part of
our remuneration.
Alternative Fee Arrangements
Fixní odměna, limit (cap) – Pokud je možné časový rozsah služeb dobře odhadnout, jsme schopni Vám nabídnout právní služby za fixní částku, případně omezit celkovou odměnu cenovým limitem.
Paušál – Jestliže máte zájem poptávat právní služby pravidelně a máte alespoň přibližnou představu o rozsahu takových služeb, je možné Vám vyjít vstříc formou tzv. paušálu. Jedná se o pravidelnou platbu, která zahrnuje určitý počet hodin služeb za cenu podstatně nižší, než běžná hodinová sazba.
Statutory Fee – It is also possible to agree on remuneration for individual legal acts
based on the Attorney's Tariff (Decree of the Ministry of Justice No. 177/1996 Coll.).
Success Fee - In exceptional cases, it is also possible to agree on remuneration
expressed as a share of the success in the matter.
