How We Work and How We Charge


Our commercial law consulting services focus on providing exceptional customer service. This means being available and responsive to customer needs while utilizing our experience to deliver a successful outcome for you. We are proud of our open and eye-catching approach. As part of this accessibility commitment, we will keep you posted on the progress of your portfolio and your options at every step of the way

How we work on a typical client portfolio

You get in touch

If you call our office, a qualified and experienced lawyer will usually be able to talk to you at the moment. If not, we will call you back as soon as possible, usually on the same day.

Initial discussion

We'll discuss this in a phone call to see whether we can help you. It will not take long, and you are not required to hire our services, but legally, we cannot give legal advice until you become a customer.

Follow up

After the initial hearing, we'll let you know if you can use our services as a customer. At this point we can generally also give you an indication of the expected consulting costs.

Our proposal

The next step is to send you our fee agreement. This Agreement will confirm in writing the costs as agreed and detail the nature of the work requested, the agreed services and the manner of working with you.

Engaging us

After the wage agreement is signed, we will start working. This usually involves reviewing your documents and an initial meeting with you to give you legal advice and practical guidance on the next steps.

The best result for you

As your case progresses, we become aware of unexpected changes, as they may be, so that there are no unexpected fees. We will formulate all the correspondence, conduct any court proceedings, and conduct negotiations for a successful conclusion on your behalf.
In most cases our service exceeds our customers' expectations. So, we are sure that you will also be satisfied. But if a mistake has occurred, you can rest assured that we will do everything possible to fix what is needed as quickly as possible.

Our Commercial Law Service Charge Options


At AK & Co. we are committed to exceptional customer care. This means being open and transparent about our charges and letting you know if they may exceed the estimate.

The standard payment options in our office are:

Pay at The Door
Many of our customers prefer to work with us on an hourly basis, and we think this is the fairest payment option, so you pay only for hours actually consumed. For this type of service, our regular price per hour applies.

Mix Fix Fee
In some cases, we can also pre-determine the fees for our services. Please note that in our pricing, we will consider the likelihood of additional and unexpected work (usually dependent on the counterparty and his lawyer) and offer you a predetermined fee.

To Corporations with love
Annual / Monthly Legal Fees (Retainer)
For a fixed monthly fee at a very competitive price, we offer unlimited legal advice to businesses as part of the annual or monthly retainer.
