Fees
Transparency
The fees are the result of a discussion followed by an agreement prior to the performance of any services.
No internal costs (scanning, printing, invoicing, dispatch of non-registered mail,...) are charged*.
In application of its CSR charter, Miles is committed to controlling its costs by avoiding the waste of consumable goods, drastically limiting printing costs and making optimal use of energy and premises.
*Some Miles Network members apply special rules in this area, which they communicate in advance.
Precision and regularity
We encode our services by 6 minutes, the lawyer of the service is always mentioned and the description of the task is specified. The details of this encoding are attached to the invoice.
The invoicing takes place monthly, so that the status of the services can be checked transparently.
Specific provisions
In the context of specific agreements, subscription formulas or lump sum formulas can be considered.
In the event of a favourable result, a success fee may be claimed.
Our international activities
We develop our international activities through three channels :
Our membership of an international alliance of law firms
Our activities in international professional associations
The development of Brussels Desks hosting foreign law firms.
This solution allows these firms, some of which practice European law, to benefit from a reception infrastructure in the heart of the Capital of Europe and, if necessary, to benefit from quality support in Belgian national law.
