VV Avocat, based in Toulouse, places particular importance on fee clarity and transparency. Before any engagement, a fee agreement is provided so that the client knows precisely the billing terms.
This transparency serves a dual objective:
to ensure a relationship of trust from the very first meeting;
to adapt billing to the nature of the case, its complexity, and the client’s objectives.
From the first contact, a flat-rate consultation is offered to assess your tax, asset, or litigation situation.
Amount: €150 excl. VAT (€180 incl. VAT)
Maximum duration: 1 hour
Terms: in person at the office or remotely (phone or video conference)
This consultation allows us to establish the context, analyze initial documents, and determine the appropriate strategy. If the case is subsequently entrusted to the firm, this amount may be deducted from future fees.
In accordance with the law, each engagement is subject to a fee agreement. This document specifies the calculation method, the scope of the engagement, and the payment terms.
Fees can be set according to three main methods:
Time-based
Flat rate
Flat rate + success fee
This flexibility allows us to meet the needs of all clients, whether individuals, entrepreneurs, or expatriates.
Billing based on time spent is based on an hourly rate ranging from €200 to €350 excl. VAT, depending on several criteria:
the complexity of the case,
the urgency of the matter,
the financial and tax stakes,
the level of expertise required.
This method is particularly suitable for evolving or uncertain cases (tax litigation, ongoing audit, lengthy procedures).
For certain well-defined engagements, the firm offers fixed flat rates.
Examples of flat-rate services:
Preparation and submission of a complex tax return;
Ad hoc assistance during a limited tax audit;
Drafting of a specific legal document.
To address recurring needs, thematic flat-rate offers are available:
“My First Real Estate Acquisition” Package: legal and tax security for a real estate purchase;
“Tax Coaching – My Real Estate Portfolio” Package: tax strategy for individual investors;
“Business Creation” Package: legal and tax structuring tailored to the activity.
In certain cases (tax litigation, reassessments, disputes before the court), a success fee may be agreed upon.
This billing method combines a reduced flat rate and a percentage of the gain obtained (e.g., tax savings achieved, reassessments cancelled).
It aligns the interests of the firm and the client.
The firm also offers subscription plans for companies or individuals requiring regular support.
Examples of services included in a subscription:
annual tax monitoring,
ongoing legal assistance,
strategic advice on corporate taxation or wealth management.
