Aligned Objectives.

How We Structure Your Legal Investment

In accordance with the regulations stipulated by the professional code of ethics, the law firm of Jean-Paul Gueneau is committed to ensuring transparency in its fees by guiding you towards the fee agreement best suited to your case. Come and discover our tax lawyer in Nice. Our firm offers three transparent billing methodologies:

The Hourly Rate Model (Taux Horaire)

  • Rate: €300 HT / Hour (Subject to standard 20% French TVA)

  • Best Suited For: Complex, fluid matters such as live tax audit representation (vérification de comptabilité), custom cross-border wealth advice, and unpredictable administrative court litigation.

The Flat-Rate Package (Forfait)

  • Rate: Structured as an all-inclusive fixed baseline fee.

  • Best Suited For: Our lawyer will inform you about their firm’s fee and billing methods from the initial contact. To ensure your complete satisfaction, Maître Jean-Paul Gueneau will provide you with a quote, which will be drawn up with your approval to avoid any disputes. Package fees are determined by several factors, including the nature and complexity of the case, the expected results, the lawyer’s specialization, and the client’s financial situation. A written agreement will be signed by both parties to specify the agreed package fees. The applicable VAT rate is 20%, in accordance with current legislation.

In certain circumstances, the Firm may offer a fixed-fee consultation to assess the viability of your case, particularly in contentious matters. This may include reviewing the admissibility of your claim, applicable limitation periods, and other procedural requirements before commencing proceedings that may prove lengthy and costly.
