Pricing

We are happy to talk about our pricing with you.

Quality legal services come at a cost, but the price must match the value and scope of the service. We understand that many companies perceive legal fees as high, and we appreciate that you want transparency regarding our pricing.

Our General Pricing Principles:

  • You only pay after we have explicitly agreed on the costs. The initial discussion to clarify your needs is free of charge. (Many clients are surprised by the effort we invest at this stage.)
  • For drafting of new documents, we generally work on a fixed-fee basis.
  • Many of our services are billed as recurring flat fees, such as the appointment as an external Data Protection Officer or our VIP Service.
  • When billing based on time & material, we ensure estimates are not exceeded and keep costs as low as possible. Unlike many large law firms, we do not operate on a hierarchical “pyramid” structure or let inexperienced juniors exceed time estimates.
  • We prioritize standardization and automation wherever feasible and reasonable. This allows us to reduce time spent and keep costs efficient.

Hourly and Daily Rates:

If we charge based on time, our hourly rate is EUR 290.00, and our daily rate is EUR 2,320.00 (plus VAT). For fixed prices, please refer to our Fixed-fee Overview.
