Updated in 2026
In France, lawyers’ fees are freely set. They are governed by Article 11 of the National Internal Rules (RIN), which sets out the criteria to be taken into account. These include: the time spent on the case, the nature and complexity of the matter, the interests at stake, the work required, the lawyer’s reputation and experience, as well as the client’s financial situation.
Maître Danho undertakes to present his fees clearly before taking on any case. A fee agreement is systematically proposed to the client, in accordance with the obligations of the profession. This document sets out the method of calculation, the estimated amount and the billing conditions. It constitutes a mutual commitment between the lawyer and the client.
Transparency on fees is, for Maître Danho, a matter of trust. A client who understands what they are paying and why can engage in proceedings with confidence.
Maître Danho’s billing methods
Les honoraires peuvent être fixés selon différents modes de facturation, en fonction de la nature du dossier et des besoins du client.
Hourly rate
Fees are calculated based on the time actually spent on the case: consultations, legal research, document drafting, exchanges with the opposing party and court representation. This method is particularly suited to cases where the scope is difficult to assess in advance, especially in litigation. A time sheet can be provided to the client upon request.
Fixed fee
For clearly defined assignments, a fixed fee may be agreed from the outset. The client knows the exact cost of the service before proceedings begin. This method is particularly suited to advisory assignments, contract drafting or procedures with a foreseeable duration.
Retainer
For companies or clients with regular legal needs, Maître Danho offers retainer arrangements established by quote. This allows clients to benefit from ongoing legal support at a controlled cost, with an available and responsive point of contact. The terms of the retainer are defined in advance according to the client’s specific needs.
What fees cover and what is billed separately
Fees cover all of the lawyer’s intellectual services: legal advice, case analysis, drafting of submissions and documents, court representation and case management.
They do not include disbursements, which are billed separately and on the basis of supporting documents. These include court fees, bailiff costs, expert fees, registry fees and travel expenses where necessary. These items are always communicated to the client transparently before being incurred.
