Frequently asked questions
What do I need to do to hire your legal services?
To start our collaboration, the first step is to fill out our short online contact form. This allows us to understand your preliminary needs and schedule an initial call or Strategic Consultation, usually within 24 business hours. In this first interaction, we will delve into your case, resolve key concerns, and, if applicable, define together the most effective legal roadmap for you
What is the price of the initial consultation and what does it include?
We offer an initial Strategic Consultation designed to provide you with tangible value from our first meeting. This session, lasting 60 to 90 minutes and can be held in our offices or by videoconference, has an investment of $100 USD (+VAT).
It is not a simple introductory talk. Includes:
- Dedicated analysis of your situation by an expert attorney from our team.
- Preliminary identification of key legal risks and opportunities.
- Initial strategic orientation focused on your objectives.
- The delivery of a Roadmap with recommended steps, either for immediate actions or for a medium-term strategy.
This value is creditable to the fees if you decide to hire our services for the execution of the defined strategy. We seek to establish a relationship of trust based on transparency and the value delivered from the beginning.
