FIRST CONTACT:

The first consultation during which the potential client addresses the lawyer by submitting the actual legal matter to be subsequently explained as for the nature of relevant legal services will be provided free of charge.

Where the initial documents in relation to the given legal matter are extensive and must be thoroughly studied before determining the legal nature of the problem, a single fee for such examination may be agreed with the client.

FURTHER CONTACT and PROVISION OF LEGAL SERVICE

Následne je odmena za poskytnuté právne služby účtovaná v zmysle vyhlášky Ministerstva spravodlivosti SR z 10. novembra 2004 č. 655/2004 Z.z. s ohľadom na povahu klientom vyžadovanej právnej pomoci. Na základe uvedeného môže byť odmena dojednaná ako:

1. CONTRACTUAL FEES

• hourly rate fee
  This is determined on the basis of the number of hours necessary for the legal services.
• contingent fee
  This fee is charged in proportion to the value of the disputed claim proceeded before the court or any other authority, where, based on the facts of the case, the outcome of the proceeding is quite uncertain, provided the client has been so instructed.
• flat fee, a total fee for the case handled in full concerning one issue or a set of issues
  This fee can be agreed e. g. when dealing with issues without knowing in advance the amount of acts in law that may be ultimately necessary, so a fixed amount is charged regardless of the number of acts in law to be provided to deal with the matter in full.
• monthly retainer fee
  This fee is charged upon a prior agreement mainly with regular clients, with the monthly package including the agreed scope of legal services provided in general or in specific areas.

2. TARIFF FEES

• The basic tariff fee rate will be determined on the value of the subject-matter at issue and the number of acts in law actually performed in relation to the case. Under § 9 of the above Regulation, the basic tariff rates may be increased or reduced in some cases.

Value of the subject matter at issue	Rate for a single act in law
165.97 EUR or less	EUR 16,60
exceeding EUR 165,97 up to EUR 663.88	EUR 16.16 EUR + EUR 1.66 EUR per each EUR 33.19 in excess of EUR 165.97

If the value of the subject-matter at issue cannot be determined, the fee will be agreed in compliance with the above Regulation. In any event, the fee must always be agreed prior to the provision of legal services.
