With respect to the agreement on fees, BLS strives to find an individual solution for everybody since we can offer our clients both the possibility of a flat rate fee as well as hourly rates depending on the situation. BLS offers competent legal advice in a central location at fair fees due to the Lawyer's Tariff and the General Fee Criteria forming the basis of our fees. We are available for an initial legal consultation, which can take place in our office premises, via online meeting or by telephone, at a reduced flat rate. The lawyers of our Vienna law firm provide their consultation, negotiation and litigation services according to our general terms and conditions.

In court cases, however, the necessary services can hardly be estimated. In those cases the Lawyer's Tariff applies. Subject to the Lawyer's Tariff Act, the Lawyer's Tariff defines exactly which fees can be charged for which services. The winning party is entitled to compensation of costs against the losing party.

Within the framework of an ongoing advice we usually agree upon an hourly rate. In absence of an hourly rate agreement, we invoice our services according to the general fee criteria of the Austrian Bar Association or – if applicable – according to the Lawyer's Tariff Act.

In addition to the lawyer's fees, court costs and fees can be incurred, which we will inform you about individually as a matter of course.
