We usually work in teams of 2 lawyers. By major assignments, more lawyers may be involved. Teamwork optimises case proceedings as more lawyers assigned to a case means better opportunities to be complimentary and further, our clients experience the advantage of having more lawyers to contact at the office to assist in urgent matters.
On receipt of an assignment, we seek to set up guidelines in cooperation with our client for the treatment of the assignment in question before proceeding with the assignment. We focus on procuring value creating solutions for our client, in the present matter as well as in the future.
Basis for calculating Codex Advokater’s fees are the time spent, the value of the subject-matter, the complexity of the case and the result achieved. In matters concerning purchase and disposal of private property, our fees are mostly calculated according to a pre-determined fee.
Each lawyer has a fixed hourly rate reflecting the individual lawyer’s degree of specialist knowledge and experience. In long-pending cases or ongoing client relationships our fee is invoiced regularly, for instance quarterly. In short time isolated cases, our fee is invoiced when the case is closed.
We forward an invoice with a detailed description of the assistance rendered. Unless otherwise agreed, this invoice falls due for payment 14 days from the invoice date.
