How much does a lawyer cost?

When it comes to rates and fees, transparency is important to JPR. That means we combine our versatility and quality with competitive rates. JPR advocaten uses a number of methods to charge for its work. Together we determine how to fulfil your requirements within the context of the assignment.

Working with an hourly rate

The amount of the hourly rate depends on the experience of the lawyer handling your case. They will make an appointment with you to discuss this in advance. It is possible that more than one lawyer may work on your case. If that happens, the specific hourly rate of that lawyer will be charged. JPR will inform you before any additional lawyers start to work on your case.

Every lawyer will accurately log the time they work for you in time units of 6 minutes. The breakdown we send with our invoices clearly shows the time spent. For work lasting less than 6 minutes, JPR charges for (at least) one time unit.

Good to know

When comparing hourly rates, keep in mind that effectiveness also plays an important role in the final cost. Our specialised lawyers have the experience and the (digital) resources to bring any case to a successful conclusion in a pragmatic way. Moreover:

  • We do not charge surcharges on our hourly rates in case of urgent or specialist work.
  • We do not charge any office fees.

Alternative arrangements

Would you prefer to make other arrangements? We’re open to discussing options. If your organisation or assignment meets specific qualifications, we offer the options below. Feel free to ask about the possibilities for dealing with your situation.

Secondment

Does your organisation need legal support for a longer period and on a regular basis? If so, we can also charge by the half-day period. If desired, we can carry out the work on site.

 

Unit rate

In the case of a unit rate (blended), the same hourly rate applies to all lawyers working on your case regardless of experience. This is a suitable option for clients looking for a uniform hourly rate in carrying out their assignment.

Fixed fee

JPR is prepared to handle common work for a fixed fee. This could entail work that is commonly needed for your company. A fixed fee can also be agreed for a project, or part of a project.

Helpdesk

Many clients enjoy the convenience of our Helpdesk. For a fixed monthly fee, you can contact us for short questions by email or phone. Are you experiencing a situation that’s more challenging? In that case, we’ll open a file and make separate agreements.

Result-related reward

In this variant everything revolves around results. When a predetermined goal is achieved, a higher reward applies than if this result is not achieved. No cure, no pay can also be regarded as a result-dependent fee. Compensation as a percentage of the proceeds is not permitted.

Fixed anual ammount

As an entrepreneur, you annually budget the expected turnover and costs. JPR advocaten can take over this risk by submitting an annual quotation in advance in which we will cover all legal costs within agreed frameworks.
