Fees

Advokatfirmaet KPU DA aims to charge competitive fees for our services. The amount of the fee will be determined by the time spent. In simple and straightforward cases we may be able to offer a fixed fee in advance.

The firm is subject to the Norwegian Bar Association's Code of Conduct for Lawyers («Regler for god advokatskikk»). At the start of the engagement, clients will be informed of the hourly rates that will apply, how the fee is calculated, and our invoicing procedures.

Our indicative hourly rate is in the range of NOK 1.500,- to NOK 3.500,- + VAT, depending on the nature of the case, the type of client (private individuals, public bodies, business clients) and its complexity. We reserve the right to depart from this price range. Time is recorded on the basis of a minimum charge of 15 minutes for each work session on the case. Specific disbursements in connection with the case are invoiced in addition to the fee for time spent.

Advokatfirmaet KPU DA does not take cases on a so-called «no cure – no pay» basis. Under the rules of the Norwegian Bar Association, we are also not permitted to agree that our fee will be set solely as a percentage or share of the subject matter or outcome of the case.

Legal aid

In some cases, depending among other things on the client's income and assets, free legal aid may be granted by the state.

Insurance cover

In some types of case, the lawyer's fee may be partly covered by the client's insurance company under the legal expenses cover included in many standard home insurance policies.
