6. Attorney's fees
Attorney's fees are agreed contractually. If not contractually agreed, they are governed by Ministry of Justice Decree No. 177/1996 Coll. (attorney tariff). We always clearly explain to the client in advance how fees will be charged — typically:
- Fixed fee — for routine tasks and pre-defined packages.
- Hourly rate — the rate is agreed before work begins and the client receives ongoing updates on hours billed.
- Success-based component — typically in debt collection, always agreed in writing in advance.
We provide work on a fixed fee for 75% of engagements and 90% of client communication takes place online. The savings AI tools enable us to achieve are passed directly into the invoice.
7. Attorney escrow
The Firm provides attorney escrow of funds. Escrows are conducted through various banks holding a Czech National Bank license in the Czech Republic; the specific bank for a given escrow account will be communicated to the client before the escrow agreement is concluded. Escrow rules are governed by Czech Bar Association regulation No. 7/2004 (Attorney Escrow Rules). Before commencing escrow, the firm enters into a written escrow agreement with the client.
8. Confidentiality
Attorneys are bound by the duty of confidentiality under Section 21 of the Legal Profession Act. Confidentiality extends to all facts an attorney learns in connection with providing legal services and takes precedence over obligations under other legal regulations.
9. AML — anti-money laundering measures
Under Act No. 253/2008 Coll., the Firm is required to identify and verify clients in cases and to the extent specified by law. The client must provide the necessary cooperation.
