Questions are free of charge – the answers may come with a fee.
Provided that we can
answer your question in a short e-mail, we will gladly do so – and
free of charge if your question only concerns whether we can assist
you with your problem and what fees may be incurred.
If you ask us to
provide legal advice, we will inform you about our fees for
addressing your question in a short answer mail. You can expect a
fee between EUR 35,-- and EUR 70,-- plus 20 % VAT. Please be assured
that we will not exceed our fee estimation at this stage, ie. in
regard of a short answer via e-mail – because issues that cannot be
dealt with in a short e-mail will most often require meeting you in
person, most certainly will they require a specific agreement. If
you agree with the fee presented to you, please send us “ok” as a
reply – and, of course, provide us with your full name and postal
address. You will then receive our advice within the next 48 hours.
Of course professional
secrecy is guaranteed also at this stage of early legal advice. We
shall maintain silence towards any party with respect to all data
and information we receive from you, including the very fact that
you seek our advice.
