As an attorney specializing in B2B legal advice for companies in Bamberg, Ms. Simone Helm understands the importance of clarity and predictability when setting fees. Ms. Helm's fee structure is designed to meet your needs while ensuring the highest quality of advice. The legal services are primarily provided in and out of court and the fee is usually set in an individual compensation agreement.

From the first consultation, your information and documents are in trustworthy hands with Ms Helm. Ms. Helm takes compliance with her legal duty of confidentiality very seriously, not only as a legal obligation, but as a fundamental principle of her professional ethics.

Free initial consultation: To determine your individual advice needs, Ms Helm offers a free initial consultation of up to 15 minutes. This provides an initial overview of your concerns and Ms. Helm's support.

Initial consultation: For a comprehensive initial assessment of your concerns, Ms. Helm offers an initial consultation, which usually lasts 30-60 minutes. This is available for a maximum amount of €190 (plus flat-rate expenses of €20 and 19% VAT). During this time we discuss the legal framework of your concern and outline possible strategies. In order to prepare, you will receive a questionnaire from lawyer Simone Helm that is tailored to your concerns.

Remuneration agreement based on hourly rate and effort: For further consulting services, e.g. the creation or revision of documents, Ms. Simone Helm's hourly rate is €285 (plus a flat rate of €20 and 19% VAT). This tariff reflects the high quality and specialization of Ms. Helm's advice, which is based on years of experience and in-depth legal expertise. For commercial companies, this cost transparency offers a good basis for comparison with other law firms.

Flat-rate fee agreement: If it is clear from the initial meeting, the initial consultation or during the course of the collaboration that your matter can be dealt with with a manageable amount of work, then lawyer Simone Helm will be happy to offer you an agreement on a flat-rate fee for the legal services.

With this estimate, which not only takes into account the scope of the matter but also the complexity, the importance of the matter and the client's financial circumstances, lawyer Simone Helm assumes the risk of an unpredictable fee level.

It should be noted that part of the legal fees in the B2B sector are often tax deductible, which can lead to an effective cost reduction. The lawyer's fee can, under certain circumstances, be viewed as a business expense or as advertising costs when used for business purposes.

In the event of a mandate without one of the above-mentioned agreements, the fee is based on the Lawyers' Remuneration Act (RVG).
